Abstract
An apparatus for evaluating the peel adhesion of a test specimen to a substrate. The apparatus includes a base plate having a surface for receiving the substrate; a substrate clamping plate for securing the substrate to the substrate receiving surface of the base plate; a test specimen clamping mechanism, the test specimen clamping mechanism having a first end for securing a first end of the test specimen thereto and a second end; and a pivotable linkage, the pivotable linkage having a first end for connecting to the second end of the test specimen clamping mechanism and a second end pivotably mounted to an adaptor, the adaptor in communication with a source of tensile force, wherein the source of tensile force is applied through or via the adaptor to draw the pivotable linkage and test specimen clamping mechanism away from the base plate and peel the test specimen away from the substrate. Also disclosed is a method for evaluating the peel adhesion of a test specimen to a substrate.
