It is realized that the addition of a small percentage of rigid nanoparticles to polymers
significantly improves many of their mechanical properties, especially stiffness and strength …

Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) and polycarbonate (PC) are considered a well-known
class of engineering thermoplastics due to their efficient use in automotive, 3D printing, and …

Measurement of the mechanical properties of bone is important for estimating the stresses
and strains exerted at the cellular level due to loading experienced on a macro-scale. Nano …

The effects of the indentation load, indentation-loading time and the creep behavior of 2–
3μm thick ZnO films deposited on a Si (100) substrate were investigated by nanoindentation …

Three-dimensional molecular dynamics (MD) simulation is used to investigate the atomistic
mechanism of nanoindentation process under different indentation loads, temperatures and …

Abstract Nano-load (n-IIT) and micro-load (μ-IIT) instrumented indentation tests (IITs) were
used to characterize elastic modulus and hardness in a semicrystalline polymer. The tests …

Mechanical properties of monolithic metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), especially static and
time-dependent plasticity, are essential to the mechanical stability of their device …

Physical characteristics of polyimide films, including optical, micro/nano mechanical, and
thermophysical characteristics were investigated using a photometric, a nanoindentation …

In this study, we investigated the impact on surface topography and micro-mechanical
properties of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) thin films when loaded with hardwood-derived …

The electrical and mechanical properties of conducting polymer poly (3, 4-
