Assessing coupled mechanical behavior and environmental degradation at submicron scales
… been investigated through the combination of nanomechanical testing, high resolution microscopy, diffraction, and electrochemical testing. Nanomechanical techniques were used to isolate environmental, orientation, and size effects. Material evaluation focuses on metals, both model and …

Shape memory ceramics in small volumes
… diameter that were compression tested using a nanomechanical testing platform to determine the mechanical properties. This work showed that removing grain constraints in micron-scale shape memory zirconia prevented cracking and fracture. It also enhanced the number of achievable repeatable …

Nanoindentation characterization of clay minerals and clay-based hybrid bio-geomaterials
… properties of geomaterials using a pioneering nanomechanical testing method, nanoindentation, to probe the elastic and plastic properties at nano/micro scale. Genesis of these nanomechanical properties are analyzed in the light of microstructures, interatomic bonds, mineralogical and chemical …

High strength carbon nanofibers derived from electrospun polyacrylonitrile
Carbon nanofibers (CNFs) derived from polyacrylonitrile (PAN) have not yet demonstrated the high tensile strength and Young’s modulus of their microscale counterparts. This is due to the current lack of understanding of the effect of electrospinning conditions on the quality of PAN precursor …

Sequence-structure correlations in the MaSp1 protein of N. clavipes dragline silk
… MaSpi peptide sequence, solvent conditions, and nanomechanical loading conditions on secondary and tertiary structure predictions as well as the nanomechanical behavior of a unit cell of 15 strands with 900-1000 total residues used to represent a cross-linking 7-sheet crystal node in the network …
