Local Mechanical Properties Characterization of Soft Polymeric Material via Atomic Force Microscopy Nanoindentation and Finite Element Simulations

Description:

In polymer nanocomposites (PNCs), the physical and chemical interactions at the polymer matrix-filler interface lead to local variations in polymer properties, creating a substantial interphaseregion in the vicinity of the interface. Quantifying the significance of the interphase effect in the presence of substrates or nanoparticles is of essential importance in...
