Method and System for Assessing Mechanical and Morphological Characteristics of Delicate Microstructures
摘要
A method and experimental setup for assessing the mechanical and morphological characteristics of microstructures are presented, which were tested on polymer structures formed using surface-selective laser sintering from biocompatible microparticles. The developed device allows for the measurement of breaking forces in the range from 6 mg to 130 g with an accuracy of up to 3 mg, providing a highly accurate assessment of the mechanical properties of delicate structures. The study included analysis of the internal structure, porosity, thickness distribution, and mechanical strength of the polymer samples. Morphological parameters were obtained using scanning electron microscopy and digital image processing, including adaptive binarization and region-of-interest delineation. The presented method and system can be applied in various fields requiring accurate measurements of tensile strength and elastic and morphological characteristics of samples.
