Insights into the mechanical behavior of thin multilayer materials used in lithium‑ion batteries. The session shows how tensile, compression, flexural, friction, and adhesion testing provide reliable data for metal foils, coated electrodes, and separators. It highlights practical test setups, adapted standards, and the impact of precise sample preparation on data quality—supporting safer, more predictive battery development and simulation workflows.
