Adhesion of silicon oxide layers on poly (ethylene terephthalate). II: Effect of coating thickness on adhesive and cohesive strengths

Fragmentation tests in the uniaxial mode were performed on poly (ethylene terephthalate) (PET) films coated with a silicon oxide layer of thickness ranging from 30 to 156 nm. The coating's fragmentation process was investigated to reveal the crack onset strain and the crack density at fragmentation ... View More
