Microscopical Characterization of Metal-Coated Polymer Microspheres under Mechanical Compression

Kongsmo, Rakel (Master thesis, 2013)

We have performed compression experiments on both metal-coated and uncoated resorcinol-formaldehyde polymer microspheres by a experimental setup developed in-house. Through images obtained from optical microscopy, the ...
On determining the Poisson's ratio of viscoelastic polymer microparticles using a flat punch test

Yu, Haiyang; Kongsmo, Rakel; Patil, Nilesh; He, Jianying; Breiby, Dag Werner; Zhang, Zhiliang (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)

Microscopic spherical polymer particles are increasingly used in a wide range of areas, including pharmacy, physics and microelectronics. For most of the applications a precise knowledge of the mechanical properties is ...
