Profiles in the local glass transition temperatureTg(z) within polystyrene (PS) next to polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) domains were determined using a localized fluorescence method. By changing the base to cross-linker ratio, we varied the cross-link density and, hence, the Young’s modulus of PDMS (Sylgard 184). The localTg(z) in PS at a distance ofz= 50 nm away from the PS/PDMS interface was found to shift by 40 K as the PDMS modulus was varied from 0.9 to 2.6 MPa, demonstrating a strong sensitivity of this phenomenon to the rigidity of the neighboring domain. The extent theTg(z) perturbation persists away from the PS/PDMS interface,z≈ 65–90 nm before bulkTgis recovered, is much shorter for this strongly immiscible system compared with the weakly immiscible systems studied previously, which we attribute to a smaller interfacial width, as the χ parameter for PS/PDMS is an order of magnitude larger.
