Deformation and failure mechanism of nanostructured polymer thin films
In this research, we develop models to describe the impact of nanostructures on the elastic deformation and failure of polymer thin films. First, we use polystyrene-b-poly(2-vinyl-pyridine) as a model material to investigate the effect of nanodomains and surface terracing on the crazing process. Her...
