Stretching-Induced Uniform Micropores Formation: An in Situ SAXS/WAXS Study
By stretching lamellar polymer films at various temperatures, researchers were able to prepare microporous membranes. They performed SAXS/WAXS characterisation on the stretched samples, and for the first time clarifying the fibre connecting bridges that form when the composite is stretch at raised temperatures. Read how Linkam’s mechanical testing system was key to this research.
