Abstract

Nanoindentation test techniques were combined with deposition of highly stressed overlayers to study the interfacial fracture susceptibility of spin coated Epon 828/T403 on aluminized glass substrates as a function of film thickness. The test techniques required to induce fracture differed between samples. Nevertheless, the resulting interfacial fracture energies decreased monotonically with film thickness to a value near 0.5 J/m2. This value is higher than the ‘true work of adhesion' for uncured epoxy oliogomers on a methyl-terminated aluminum surface. However, it may indicate that we have irreversible specific interactions such as hydrogen bonding. Then 0.5 J/m2 may be near the fundamental value for such an interaction, or the ‘practical work of adhesion’.
