- TL;DR Summary
- How should I interpret these results?
Hello,
I am currently writing my thesis, where I have to investigate if a surface treatment increases the adhesion (between tape and a plastic surface). For this purpose, I have among other tests, performed a tensile test between the tape and plastic surface. The tensile test can be separated in two:
1)To test the adhesion between tape and plastic surface (when the plastic surface has not been treated).
2) To test the adhesion between tape and plastic surface (when the plastic surface HAS been treated)
My results are:
1) The mean for the maximum load is: 29 Newton. It was possible to pull the tape 10-20 centimeters of the plastic surface, before the tape broke.
2) The mean for the maximum load is: 25 Newton. It was possible to pull the tape 5 centimeters of the plastic surface, before the tape broke.
I think that the test results from ”2” (with surface treatment) indicates that the surface treatment increased the adhesion. But the mean for the maximum load is smaller here. I do not understand. What can I concluded from these results and how can I explain them?
