Abstract

A novel technique called Cross-Sectional Scratch (CSS) has been established. The technique employs a sliding contact of an indenter tip across a polymer stack cross-section. The main advantage of the technique is that it allows to measure/quantify interfacial adhesion in multilayer polymer films that are only a few microns thick. CSS has successfully tested both glassy/glassy and glassy/soft polymer interfaces. Thus, PS/PE, PET/PE, PS/PMMA and PVdF/PMMA co-extruded films were chosen as sample systems and tested at room temperature. It was found that indenter speed has a strong effect on the magnitude of the adhesion energy measured. The dependence has a power law form with indices ∼ 0.1-0.2. More viscoelastic systems have higher power law index, a measure of rate sensitivity.
