Fracture properties of thin brittle MTM clay coating on ductile HEC polymer substrate

Thin clay coatings can be deposited from water dispersions for the purpose of improved gas barrier properties and fire retardancy of polymeric materials. Mechanical properties of the coatings are difficult to assess, since they are very thin (≈1µm). In-situ tests using a micro tensile stage in a sca...
