Abstract

An intriguing large negative thermal expansion behavior was observed in ultrathin plasma polymer films. The thermal expansion of plasma polymerized films exhibited a profound hysteresis between the heating and cooling cycles. The surprising thermal behavior was explained as a consequence of high residual stresses caused by the “wedging” phenomenon.
