Standardising the nano-scratch test (NANOINDENT-plus)

Start date: Sep 1, 2012, End date: Feb 28, 2014,

This project will further develop, validate and draft standards for nano-scratching, which is an important new tool to investigate the tribological properties of materials on a scale relevant to the fundamental mechanisms of wear. It will facilitate the development of new coatings and engineered surfaces that will give impact through improved competitiveness of industry and a better quality of lif ...

Creating and disseminating novel nanomechanical characterisation techniques and standards (NANOINDENT)

Start date: Sep 1, 2008, End date: Aug 31, 2011,

"Our project aims to gather, improve, catalogue and present characterisation techniques, methods and equipment for nanomechanical testing. European-wide activities coordinated by a new virtual centre will improve existing nanoindentation metrology to reveal structure-properties relationship at the nano-scale. These methods are the only tools to characterise nanocomposite, nanolayer and interface m ...
