INTERLAYER ADHESION OF CO-EXTRUDED SHEETS BEFORE AND AFTER BIAXIAL STRETCHING

摘要

In order to quantify interlayer adhesion of co-extruded sheets with strong interlayer adhesion, a test method was developed to first initiate delamination by uniaxial stretching and then measure interlayer adhesion by peel test. The method was applied to co-extruded sheets before and after biaxial stretching. Interlayer adhesion with peel force as high as 5330N/m (30lb/in) have been measured for the as co-extruded sheets. Reduction of interlayer adhesion as a function of biaxial stretching was revealed.
