MeasuringThe Modulus of Polymer Films by Strain-Induced Buckling Instabilities

August 1, 2002
Author(s)
Christopher M. Stafford, C Harrison, Alamgir Karim, Eric J. Amis
We present a high-throughput technique for measuring the Young s modulus of thin polymer films. This technique exploits a strain-induced buckling instability observed in films supported on elastomeric substrates. By employing a combinatorial polymer film

Polymer Science at the NIST Combinatorial Methods Center
