An electronic speckle patterninterferom- etry (ESPI) method is used to measure the deformation ofPth films of thicknesses in the range of 4-65 μm . Theirstress-strain curves are obtained. It is found that the mechanicalproperties of Pth films are sensitive to the specimen thickness. Thetensile strength increases with decreasing thickness of thin filmfrom 10 μm. The influence of the electrochemical synthesisconditions on the mechanical properties of Pth films is also dis-Cussed.展开更多
