Book excerpt: Efforts to understand the effect of confinement on the glass transition of an unentangled polymer melt in the field of coarse-grained simulations have focused on the use of free-standing and supported films with atomistically smooth substrates. The effects these types of nano-confinement have produced are of great value when trying to understand the interfacial effects on the structure and dynamics of the material that can dominate many properties at very small length scales (
