Polymer thin film characterization at cold temperatures using nanoDMA III and xSol Cryo
23 Jul 2023Polymer thin films are widely used for a variety of applications, ranging from artificial skin to anti-reflective coatings. Understanding the viscoelastic properties at various temperatures is important for ensuring engineering performance. The measurement of viscoelastic properties of polymer thin films across a range of temperatures can prove difficult in comparison to a bulk sample. In this application note from Bruker Nano, the viscoelastic properties of polymer thin films are investigated from -125°C to 23°C using dynamic nanoindentation.
