Measuring the strength of nanomaterials involves specialized techniques due to their minuscule size. Common methods include:
1. Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM): Used to measure surface properties and nanomechanical properties. 2. Nanoindentation: A technique that involves pressing a hard tip into the material to measure its hardness and elastic modulus. 3. Tensile Testing: Although challenging at the nanoscale, advancements have been made to measure tensile strength using microscale testing setups.
