Mechanical testing of 20 microns PET film?
Mechanical testing of 20 microns PET film?
(OP)
Well, more or less the title says it all. I am looking for methods to test the mechanical properties of an extruded PET film for both small and large deformations. (tensile, compressive, shear, rate and temperature dependency, friction, etc....) Can you help me to find those who might can help? Any publications, universities, test laboratories, equipment details, test rigs? Thank you in advance...

You can contact Tinius Olsen Testing Machine Co, (215) 675-7100 for assitance in testing equipment.
www.tiniusolsen.com also has information and some (limited) information on testing on their website.
good luck,
