How are Mechanical Properties of Nanomaterials Measured?

Measuring mechanical properties at the nanoscale often requires specialized techniques. Some common methods include:
Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM): Used to measure surface roughness, elasticity, and adhesion at the nanoscale.
Nanoindentation: Measures hardness and elastic modulus by pressing a sharp indenter into the material.
Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM): Allows for the observation of internal structures and defects that influence mechanical properties.
Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM): Provides detailed images to study surface morphology and fracture patterns.
