Technical Paper -
The failure of interfaces between a series of styrene butadiene random linear polymer melts is investigated with a contact mechanics method. The mechanical strength of interfaces formed under certain conditions is characterized by separating a probe from a glass side. Different deformation micromechanisms of the layers were observed depending on the time of contact, the debonding velocity and...
