The viscoelastic functions measured by nanoindentation (or atomic force microscopy), are
coupled in complex ways to the measurement system's time constants, phase shifts created …

Research in the area of nanoindentation has gained significant momentum in recent years,
but there are very few books currently available which can educate researchers on the …

The advantages of utilizing the polymeric shape memory effect for deterministic assembly of
microscale objects are explored in this paper. Assembly of building blocks, referred to as …

In the present study, macroindentation tests are performed by means of a spherical indenter
on silicone rubber. The load-depth curves during the indentation process reveal only slightly …

We present a novel Multi-Regime Analysis (MRA) routine for interpreting force indentation
measurements of soft materials using atomic force microscopy. The MRA approach …

Instrumented nanoindentation is widely used to extract the material properties from the
measured force-displacement curves. In this work, the uniqueness/non-uniqueness of the …

Researchers have used the Oliver-Pharr method to analyze nanoindentation test results for
viscoelastic materials without considering the viscous effect. This study develops procedure …

Instrumented indentation technique has been increasingly utilized to measure the
mechanical properties of soft polymers and biological tissues. However, the indentation …

Spring–dashpot models have long been used to simulate the mechanical behavior of
polymers, but their usefulness is limited because multiple model parameter values can …

Supercrystalline nanocomposites are a burgeoning class of hybrid inorganic-organic
materials. Studies showed that self-assembly of iron oxide particles surface-functionalized …
