(Nanowerk News) Oxidation can degrade the properties and functionality of metals. However, a research team co-led by scientists from City University of Hong Kong (CityU) recently found that severely ...

The exceptional sensitivity of atomic force microscopy and nanoindentation allows for the evaluation of minute displacements as low as the sub-nanometer system, allowing mechanical attributes (such as ...

Young's modulus for Polythene, cross-linked by pile irradiation, has been measured by both static and dynamic means. Below about 115° C (the usual melting-point) the modulus decreases with temperature ...
