Polymer materials of reduced size and dimensionality, such as thin films, polymer nanofibres and nanotubes, exhibit exceptional mechanical properties compared with those of their macroscopic ...

Instrumented indentation, or nanoindentation, is an important technique used for measuring the mechanical properties of materials, and can be conducted in situ even on the circuit board itself. This ...

Microspheres have a wide range of uses in modern life. For example, the density of manufactured materials is lowered using hollow microspheres. In present-day liquid chromatography, the analyte is ...
