(Nanowerk Spotlight – Application Note) In the realm of nanomechanical measurements, AFM is especially suited to working with soft materials due to its piconewton force resolution and sub-nanometer ...

The elastic modulus relates the applied stress to the strain it produces. In a material that obeys Hooke's Law, the initial uniaxial elastic response is linear with stress and strain coupled through ...

Increasing hydraulic pressures and reduced packaging space in new generation dual clutch and automatic transmissions have triggered the need for higher tensile strength and higher modulus (stiffer) ...

A recent article in Communications Materials proposed a novel approach to enhance the elastic modulus of a cast aluminum alloy by incorporating isostructural Laves phases to form a multi-component, ...

The company developed a high performance intermediate modulus (IM) carbon fiber, Pyrofil MR70, which exceeds the performance of conventional IM carbon fibers. Structural products for aircrafts and ...

The marine business of Gurit, has launched SE 84 Nano on the 29th of March 2011, a new high performance hot-melt epoxy prepreg incorporating 3M™ Matrix Resin. SE 84 Nano has been developed for marine ...

They're in a range of consumer products -- everything from toothpaste and yogurt to fabric softeners and insoles for shoes. But what puts the spring, the elasticity in gels? New research has found the ...

In the realm of nanomechanical techniques, AFM is ideally suited to measuring soft materials because of its sub-nanometer vertical displacement accuracy and piconewton force resolution. One of the ...
