Investigation on the Influences of Hygrothermal Aging on the Indentation Size Effects and Micro-Indentation Measurements of PMMA. Part I: Experimental Results

The polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) subjected to hygrothermal aging was applied to nanoindentation tests under different indentation strain rates. The influences of hygrothermal aging on the indentation behaviors of PMMA are discussed. Results show that the indentation elastic modulus and hardness de...
