Tribological and mechanical characterization of thin polymer films

Mechanical and tribological characteristics of polymer films are crucial to their successful implementation as thin protective coatings. Hot filament chemical vapor deposition (HFCVD) is a relatively new technique which enables deposition of various polymers on a variety of surfaces. In this dissert...
