چکیده

The accuracy of mechanical properties from depth-sensing indentation, or nanoindentation, depends on the accuracy of the displacement measurement used to calculate these properties. Here, current nanoindentation techniques and analysis methods for accurate displacement measurements are reviewed. First, the ability of a commercial instrument to sense the surface of soft materials is examined. Second, methods of sample surface detection are reviewed. Finally, a case of overestimation of the elastic modulus of a compliant material using nanoindentation with incorrect displacement values is presented.

The use of polyacrylamide gels for mechanical calibration of cartilage--a combined nanoindentation and unconfined compression study.

This study investigates polyacrylamide (PA) gel as a calibration material to measure the nanomechanical compressive modulus of cartilage using nanoindentation. Both nanoindentation and unconfined compression testing were performed on PA gel and porcine rib cartilage. The equilibrium moduli measured by the two methods were discernable. Nanoindentation has the advantage of distinguishing between ...

Analysis of nanoindentation of soft materials with an atomic force microscope

Nanoindentation is a popular experimental technique for characterization of the mechanical properties of soft and biological materials. With its force resolution of tens of pico-Newtons, the atomic force microscope (AFM) is well-suited for performing indentation experiments on soft materials. However, nonlinear contact and adhesion complicate such experiments. This paper critically examines the...

Time-dependent mechanical characterization of poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) hydrogels using nanoindentation and unconfined compression.

Hydrogels pose unique challenges to nanoindentation including sample preparation, control of experimental parameters, and limitations imposed by mechanical testing instruments and data analysis originally intended for harder materials. The artifacts that occur during nanoindentation of hydrated samples have been described, but the material properties obtained from hydrated nanoindentation have ...
