Sl. Bashenov et al., Experimental and theoretical estimation of amplitude of microwave formed under deformation of polymer film with a rigid coating, POLYM SCI A, 43(6), 2001, pp. 615-619
The experimental and theoretical estimation of the amplitude of a regular m
icrorelief formed upon the deformation of a PET film with a thin aluminum c
oating was carried out. As was shown for the first time, the classical sinu
soidal profile of the regular microrelief is only produced at relatively lo
w degrees of compression of a metallic coating on a polymer substrate. Assu
mptions concerning the mechanism of this phenomenon were advanced.
