Nanoindentation is a powerful technique used to measure the mechanical properties of materials at the nanoscale. It involves pressing a hard tip, typically made of diamond, into the surface of a ...

Explore how advanced testing reveals the viscoelastic and adhesion properties of pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs).

Nanoindentation techniques have been widely employed to assess the fracture toughness of brittle materials with sharp tip geometries. The developed models rely on directly measuring radial cracks that ...

Nanoindentation techniques are used to examine the mechanical properties of a material at the nanoscale. An AFM or SPM probe is used as both an indenter and to image the indentation. Knowing the load ...

Due to this, a wide range of indentation loads (from a few μN to 100 mN) and depths (from a few nm to 100 μm) are possible. UNHT³ is the pioneering nanoindentation tester that attains a low thermal ...
