Measurement of Thickness and Elastic Properties of Electroactive Polymer Films Using Plate Wave Dispersion Data
Elec:troactive thin-film polymers a.re increa.sinp;ly beinp; used as sensors and actuators in aerospace structures [1,2]. They also have sip;nificant potential for applications in musc:le mechanisms and micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS). In these applications, polymer films of thickness varyinp; between 20 and :100 tLin are utilized. Actuation of these polymers is attributed to piezoelect...
متن کاملCreating controlled thickness gradients in polymer thin films via flowcoating.
Flowcoating is a popular technique for generating thin (5-200 nm), substrate-supported polymer films. In this process, a reservoir of coating fluid is held between the horizontal substrate and a nearly horizontal blade above the substrate; a film of fluid is drawn out of the reservoir by moving the substrate. Accelerating the substrate produces a film with a thickness gradient, particularly use...
متن کاملTemperature- and thickness-dependent elastic moduli of polymer thin films
The mechanical properties of polymer ultrathin films are usually different from those of their counterparts in bulk. Understanding the effect of thickness on the mechanical properties of these films is crucial for their applications. However, it is a great challenge to measure their elastic modulus experimentally with in situ heating. In this study, a thermodynamic model for temperature- (T) an...
متن کاملThickness Measurement of Photoresist Thin Films Using Interferometry
Photoresists are polymers sensitive to light, usually in the ultraviolet (UV) range of the electromagnetic radiation spectrum. They are classified into positive and negative. In positive types, the exposed to light region of the photoresist becomes solvable to a developer, while the unexposed one remains unsolvable. In negative types the opposite happens. Photoresists are widely used in micro a...
متن کاملOn the thickness measurement of metallic thin films
Thickness is a key factor on the physical properties of the new miniaturized technology of thin film devices. Thin film physical properties depend on the thickness value and its control. This paper highlights the importance of the accurate determination of the thickness in thin films. Many efforts have been made through the years to develop reliable thickness measurement techniques. In this wor...
