Nanoindentation of thin viscoelastic films |
Prof. Paula Wood-Adams(Canada) |
N/A |
Experimental results on liquid polybutadiene were presented at the 40th
International Symposium on Macromolecules - IUPAC World Polymer Congress
(MACRO 2004) July 2004 in Paris, France in the poster session by Dr. Luminita
Ionescu. Co-authors on this poster were PM Wood-Adams, A Fatseyey (MASc
candidate), H Wang(MASc candidate) and L Khun (Hysitron Inc).
Mr. Arkadz Fatseyey
is in the process of
preparing his masters
thesis on Nanoindentation
of Polymer Films.
He expects to submit his
thesis before the
end of December 2004. Excerpts
from his thesis will
be submitted to scientific
journals in the form
of 1 or 2 articles in
2005.
Mr. Heng Wang has
recently defended
his MASc
thesis on Clay/Epoxy
Nanocomposites which
included the nano-mechanical
study of cured
epoxies. He has 1
journal article in
preparation
on this work. |
