Investigation of the mechanical properties of aluminium oxide thin films on polymer substrates by a combination of fragmentation and scratch testing
This paper reports the combination of two mechanical tests on AlOx coatings on polymer film, of the kind that can be used for gas barrier layers: uniaxial fragmentation tests and nano-scratch tests. The resulting morphology of the film, as characterised by AFM at different points along the scratch t...
