Original Abstract

A fully PC-controlled scratch tester was developed for testing of adhesion between the film and the substrate. The Rockwell ball or the diamond tip is driven over the film surface to produce a scratch in this film. The load on the ball (tip) is linearly increased and the value of the load, at which adhesion failure is detected, is known as the critical load between the film and the substrate. The apparatus was constructed and optimized for polymer films with respect to the force range and sensitivity. The plot of normal and lateral force is recorded and analyzed in order to obtain the critical load value. The optical polarizing and the atomic force microscopy enabled to analyze the scratch path.
