a Illustration of the FOW and FS tensile tests. b SMART process and representative force applied to the film for obtaining a free-standing dog bone for tensile analysis. c The three polymers investigated within this study and representative free-standing films with a dog-bone gauge of 8 × 2 mm. From top–down: support removal from 19 nm high-molecular-weight PS, 80 nm P3HT prior to strain, DPP-TT prior to strain. d Representative stress–strain profiles for a 67 nm 2062 kDa PS film from both FS and FOW techniques.
