Abstract:
Latex films were dried on a flexible substrate, and the substrate deflection was monitored over time to give an averaged film stress-evolution profile. Films were dried at various temperatures below and above the minimum film-formation temperature of the latex dispersion. The effect of polymer rheology, which is a temperature-dependent parameter, on film formation, was investigated. The reliability of the Stoney model in predicting film stress from substrate curvature was also examined and compared to the Euler-Bernoulli model. It was shown that the linearized Stoney model was unsuitable for the larger measured stresses.
