A dynamic study of a thermo-responsive nanometer thin-film (P(MEO2MA)-co-(OEGMA)) is performed in water.
The characterization of the layer thermal collapse is  followed in real-time from 35 to 60°C. The 3D Sarfus
image displays the layer in water above its thermal transition. This latter is easily observed at 43°C by a layer thickness shift.
