Polydimethylsiloxane Mechanical Properties Measured by Macroscopic Compression and Nanoindentation Techniques
In this thesis, the relationship between the elastic modulus of PDMS and the base/agent ratio (the amount of crosslinking) is studied. Reliable macroscopic compression test instrument was developed. Preload method was applied for the nanoindentation flat punch test to develop full contact. In chapte...
