What Information Can Be Obtained from Tensile Testing?
Tensile testing of nanomaterials provides valuable information about their mechanical properties:
- Tensile Strength: The maximum stress that a nanomaterial can withstand while being stretched. - Young's Modulus: A measure of the stiffness of the nanomaterial. - Yield Strength: The stress at which a nanomaterial begins to deform plastically. - Elongation: The extent to which the nanomaterial can be stretched before breaking.
