Same explanation goes for T-bend and impact resistance which shows the same trend as scratch hardness test. The tensile strength of the film increases considerably and elongation at break obviously decreases with increasing crosslinking.

However, a tangential force is applied in the presence of a normal load for scratch hardness test. In this paper, both indentation and scratch hardness tests were evaluated; they are: Rockwell hardness, Durometer hardness, microhardness, and scratch hardness.
