Popis:	We hypothesize that varying the chemical structure of the monomeric unit in a polymer will affect the surface structure and interfacial molecular group orientations of the polymer film leveraging its response to solvents of different chemical affinities.Poly (2-methoxy ethyl methacrylate) and poly (2-tertbutoxy ethyl methacrylate) thin films exposed to either deuterated water (DSFG spectral analysis of the polymer thin films corroborated molecular re-organization at the surface when exposed to different chemical environments. The AFM height images of the polymer surfaces were homogeneously flat under CDCl
