How Nanomechanics is Revolutionizing Nanoindenters and Nanoindentation Testing. An interview with Warren Oliver.

Here's another interview from www.azonano.com. This time the spotlight is on Mr. Warren Oliver from Nanomechanics Inc. The main subject of the interview is about wich kind of technology and instruments Nanomechanics is providing to people working with Nanoindenters and Nanoindentation Testing.

Nanomechanics is a highly focused company, employing over 20 world-class engineers, scientists and international business experts. Nanomechanics design and manufacture specialized testing systems that measure the mechanical properties of materials and devices on a microscopic scale, such as MEMS, coatings, polymers and thin films. They manufacture the Nanoindenters and Nanoindentation Testing instruments and develop the techniques for using them. It allows academic customers to conduct research and development at a fundamental level, and industry customers to use them for product development and process control.

The main advantages of the Nanomechanics systems:

iNano - high-performance nanoindentation system

• includes all the things required to do very high-performance experiments
• it doesn't need to add a lot of unnecessary and costly features
• it can be customized for novel applications
• you can conduct virtually any indentation test at high speeds
• and dynamically, which is a bit different then all the other systems on the market, where a base platform requires multiple options to operate at the same level

NanoFlip - hybrid system

• it operates within an ambient environment, but also in vaccum
• it integrates with any imaging system, such as optical microscopes, RAMAN systems, optical profilometers, SEM/FIB, XRD or AFMS because of its ability to rotate the sample 90 degrees
• the NanoFlip rotates to two hard stopping points, giving it a much higher load frame stiffness which is essential for accurate data
