What Materials Can Be Tested Using Nanoindentation?
Nanoindentation can be employed to test a wide range of materials, including:
- Metals: To study their hardness and elastic modulus. - Polymers: To understand their viscoelastic behavior. - Ceramics: To measure their fracture toughness. - Thin Films and Coatings: To evaluate their mechanical stability and adhesion. - Biomaterials: To investigate their mechanical properties relevant to biomedical applications.
