Mechanical Properties of Polymer-Based Hybrid Films: Tailoring the Hybrid Interface Using Soft Chemistry

Article Preview

Abstract:

Soft chemistry (chimie douce) processes allow the design of multifunctional composite coatings tailoring the interfaces between phases. Instrumented indentation has become routinely used to characterize thin systems and allows for getting insight into interface mechanics. The paper illustrates both experimental approaches allowing for the fabrication PMMA based nanocomposites and their characterization employing nanoindentation.
