Abstract

We discuss here the complete determination of the elastic properties of a polyimide film using two experimental techniques. One technique employs the polymer film as a vibrating membrane and allows a direct determination of the ’macroscopic’ biaxial modulus. Brillouin scattering, which measures the elastic properties on a ∼ 100 μ scale, allows for a complete characterization of the elastic behavior. The results obtained by the two techniques are in agreement within the reported error bars.
