What are the Challenges in Tensile Testing of Nanomaterials?
There are several challenges associated with tensile testing of nanomaterials:
- Sample Preparation: Preparing nanoscale samples without introducing defects is difficult. - Alignment: Ensuring proper alignment of the nanomaterial sample in the testing apparatus is critical. - Measurement Sensitivity: The forces involved are often very small, requiring highly sensitive equipment. - Environmental Effects: Nanomaterials can be affected by the testing environment, such as temperature and humidity.
