Overview

Date: Tuesday, March 2, 2021
Time: 1:00 p.m.-5:00 p.m. EST
In this webinar, fabrication of thin films on polymer substrates, the theories of electro-mechanical testing, various in-situ methods to characterize electro-mechanical behavior, and how material engineering can be used to design long-lasting flexible systems will be presented. Both monotonic and cyclic testing methods will be discussed and an outlook on the field will be provided. This webinar is aimed at being a practical guide to help one understand the basics of thin film deposition onto polymers, electro-mechanical testing methods, and the strengths and weaknesses of flexible thin film systems

Webinar Objectives/Topics

  • Thin film deposition techniques for polymer substrates
  • Theories behind fragmentation testing/tensile straining of thin films on compliant substrates
  • Constant volume approximation for electrical resistance measurements
  • Monotonic and cyclic tensile straining methods: in-situ and ex-situ
  • Cyclic bending methods: in-situ and ex-situ
  • Interface characterization
  • Known material influences: thickness, architecture, residual stress, substrates
  • Failure criteria and outlook on the field
