We imaged the BADGE/JeffAmine on the top and bottom substrates for each condition investigated after the 48 hrs of cure and followed by a tensile test (motor and manual, or motor only) with a laser confocal microscope. Imaging allowed us to gain insight into the modes of failure (adhesive, cohesive, or mixed), and gave us a second metric of the droplet diameter (the shape of the FECO fringes being the first metric). It allowed us to determine if the failures were of a brittle (sharp edges) or plastic (e.g., fibrillation) nature, which indicate the degree of cure. Mechanical imposed external forces seem to drastically influence how long the BADGE/JeffAmine droplets take to fully cure. Surfaces mounted on weak springs appeared fully cured and showed primarily brittle fractures with sharp edges. These conditions reached full cure, and we interpret the external mechanical forces to be weak enough to allow the molecular forces to drive optimal crosslinking (molecular alignment, rotation, etc.), as shown in Figures and. Also, when the BADGE/JeffAmine was cured under compressive loads (one test only, Figure ), BADGE/JeffAmine reached a complete cure. The fracture surfaces showed brittle or clean fracture over large areas, accompanied by fibrillation on edges. BADGE/JeffAmine droplets cured on surfaces mounted on stiff springs did not reach full cure regardless of the %RH, and in some instances, failing (full surface separation) before reaching the 48 hrs of cure. These surfaces present significantly more fibrillation, the signature of plastic deformation, and almost no clean surface areas.
