Over the past decade, there has been considerable interest in the effect that nanoscale confinement has on the properties of glass-forming materials. The field has been driven for both scientific and technological reasons. Examining the properties of glass-formers confined to the nanoscale may provide vital information about the underlying physics of the material. With the emergence of nanotechnology, some glass-formers, in particular, polymeric glass-formers, will be used at increasingly smaller length scales.
