Linear thermo-elastic characterization and process -structure -property relationships of thin polymeric films and coatings

This dissertation presents a procedure to fully characterize the thermal and elastic constants for orthotropic as well as transversely isotropic polymeric films and coatings. Linear elasticity theory was used to describe the response of the studied materials. All of the Young's moduli, shear mo...
