Abstract

A measurement technique for the mechanical characterization of micro- and nanoscale polymer thin-films was introduced in the present study. An experimental setup was established using an ultrasonic pulser that actuates a microcantilever so that material properties such as the Young’s modulus and shear modulus can be determined by detecting the resonant frequency shift upon coating of a thin-film to be evaluated using a laser interferometer. The present research proposes an evaluation method for the robust design of organic electronics and energy devices.
