Nano surface mechanical properties of semicrystalline polymers

This Thesis describes a systematic experimental study of the large strain surface mechanical properties of certain semicrystalline polymers, at the nanometre scale. A poly(etheretherketone) (PEEK) was selected as a model semicrystalline polymer for these investigations, as PEEK is currently finding...
