Typical nanomechanical applications include measuring elastic modulus, friction and adhesion. Viscoelastic materials, which include polymers and biological materials, have elastic properties that ...
O-rings of five different kinds were tested using the iNano indentation system from KLA. The data on each is displayed in Table 1. A flat cylindrical punch (D= 100 µm) was used to measure the complex ...
Quantitative characterization of nanomechanical properties has invariably been a holy grail for atomic force microscopy. This article explains some of the industry’s earlier attempts made at ...
