Acquisition of In Situ Nanoindenter for Studying Deformation and Damage Mechanisms in Nanocomposites and Small
Abstract
The objective of the current research instrumentation proposal is to request an In situ Nanoindenter (foruse inside a scanning electron microscope) to study nano-mechanical properties and deformationmechanisms in advanced composite materials, adhesives, coatings, ultrahigh temperature ceramics,nanoparticles and nanocomposites with nanofillers. This instrument will provide an opportunity tounderstand deformation and damage (with simultaneous loading and high magnification imaging in realtime) of microstructural features such as nano-grains, nano-reinforcements, filler/matrix interfaces,interphases, nano-voids and porosity.
