Water-assisted mechanical testing of polymeric thin-films

Song Zhang et al.

Summary: Research on thin-film mechanics is hindered by the inherent fragility of thin films and the lack of experimental instruments. By comparing different testing methods, the impact of different substrates and confinement effects on thin-film mechanics can be evaluated. Study of thin-film mechanics will contribute to understanding the structure-property relationships in the field of organic semiconductors.

Mechanical Size Effect of Freestanding Nanoconfined Polymer Films

Guorui Wang et al.

Summary: In this study, a significant mechanical stiffening effect in ultrathin polymer films at the nanoscale is reported using atomic force microscopy deflection measurements. The stiffening mechanism is attributed to extended chain conformations and entropic elasticity, with entropic contributions dominating over enthalpic contributions in chain stiffness, resulting in higher load-bearing capacity and stiffening at the nanoscale.

Nanoconfinement Controls Mechanical Properties of Elastomeric Thin Films

Pei Bai et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates significant changes in stiffness and the ratio between elastic and viscous responses in thin PDMS films under nanoconfinement, with an enhanced elastic modulus and increased viscous response observed. The results contribute to a better understanding of the nanoconfinement effect on viscoelastic properties of soft matter.

Masayuki Saito et al.

Summary: This study investigated the mechanical properties of ultrathin SBS block copolymer films and found that the Young's modulus increased significantly with decreasing thickness. The presence of a PS-rich continuous subsurface layer was identified as the major factor behind this increase.
