Interface Adhesion And Fracture: From Nanoscale Metallic Islands To Cold-spray Coatings.

In this thesis, the various aspects of interface adhesion and fracture are investigated experimentally and theoretically. Novel thin-film adhesion testing methods are developed and tested: to model the equilibrium dimensions of nanoscale metallic islands embedded beneath graphene; to assess the effe...
