How to measure the tensile strength of the prepared composite coatings?

I was totally confused to measure the tensile strength of the prepared CNF/PVDF composite coating.The thickness of the coating is 0.5 mm, is that nanoindentation method is convenient for this coating.

Yuri Mirgorod

Dear Rajiv :

The CNT come in solvophobic interaction. If CNT come into water, the hydrophobic interaction. Hydrophobic interaction can be divided into the amount of mole of the CNT / isothermal compressibility of the solvent. The isothermal compressibility of water 45.8, ethyl alcohol and 110 x 10-11 Pa-1. Consequently, the CNT will be harder to aggregate in water and in alcohol weaker.

Best regards.

Dear Yuri

Thank you so much for your kind information.

there is no chemical reaction.

DMF would be a compatible solvent for CNT for good dispersion. Suspect both ethanol and DMF are not well compatible with PVDF, i.e. PVDF will stick together instead of mixing with the solvents.
