3. Surface and interface properties
Depending on the properties required, polymer surfaces can be characterized by various complementary methods. For example, you may need to know :
topography, often described as roughness ranging from the atomic scale (e.g. molecules) to the macroscopic scale (form deviations);
morphological texture: distribution of crystalline lamellae and amorphous phase, spherulites or other morphologies;
electronic structure: knowledge of core and valence bands ;
composition: nature of the elements present, their bonds and concentration;
optical characteristics, such as transparency and brightness.
surface mechanical characteristics, such as surface modulus of elasticity, hardness, scratch...
