Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Polymer
  • Thermodynamics
  • Optics

James A. Forrest mostly deals with Glass transition, Polymer, Polystyrene, Free surface and Condensed matter physics. His Glass transition research includes elements of Chemical physics, Thin film, Optics and Analytical chemistry. His work in Polymer addresses subjects such as Brillouin zone, which are connected to disciplines such as Light scattering.

His Polystyrene study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Nanoparticle, Colloidal gold, Nanotechnology, Polymer chemistry and Viscoelasticity. Rheology and Surface energy is closely connected to Substrate in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Free surface. In Condensed matter physics, James A. Forrest works on issues like Amorphous solid, which are connected to Surface layer.

His most cited work include:

  • Effect of Free Surfaces on the Glass Transition Temperature of Thin Polymer Films. (833 citations)
  • The glass transition in thin polymer films (605 citations)
  • Interface and chain confinement effects on the glass transition temperature of thin polymer films (588 citations)
