Conical Indentation

The thermo-mechanical integration of polymer films requires a precise knowledge of material properties. Nanoindentation is a widely used testing method for the determination of material properties of thin films such as Young’s modulus and the hardness. An important assumption in the analysis of the indentation is that the indented medium is a semi-infinite plane or half space, i.e., it has an “infinite thickness.” In nanoindentation the analyzed material is often a thin film that is deposited on a substrate. If the modulus ratio is small, (soft film on hard substrate) and the penetration depth is small too, then the Hertzian assumption does not hold. We investigate this situation with spherical and conical indentation. Measurement results are shown using spherical indentation on a visco-elastic thin polymer film and a full visco-elastic characterization is presented.

Precision structured polymer thin films with microstructures comparable to or greater than the film thickness are highly desired in many applications. Such micro-patterned thin films, however, are difficult to fabricate using the standard hot embossing technology where both halves of the mold are made of hard materials. This study investigated a rubber-assisted embossing process for structuring thin polymer films. The advantages of the rubber backup instead of a hard support include but are not limited to 1) simplifying the embossing tool, 2) protecting the embossing master, 3) facilitating embossing pressure buildup, and 4) accommodating conformal forming of microscale shell patterns. Several design and process variables including rubber hardness, embossing temperature, embossing pressure and holding time were carefully studied. Thin polystyrene films in a thickness of 25 μm were accurately patterned with microgrooves of characteristic dimensions on the order of 100 μm.
