Abstract

We investigated the delamination problem at the metal-polymer interface and the mechanical buckling of the metal layer at a localized area of the metallic shell under compression between two parallel plates. First, polystyrene (PS) beads were synthesized by dispersion polymerization and then their sulfonation process. After sequential electroless deposition, the average size of multi-metal coated sulfonated polystyrene (SPS) bead was ca 4.95 μm. Using the electromechanical indentation, the electrical resistance of a single metal-coated SPS bead decreased with increasing compressive strain without delamination at the metal-polymer interface, and its electrical resistance showed 5.65 ω.
