Overview: Nanoindentation is used to determine the mechanical properties of solids with a very high spatial resolution. The method is based on the measurement of force and displacement during the elastic-plastic contact of a hard reference body (Indenter) with the specimen.Thus it is similar to traditional micro-hardness-testing, whereas it offers some significant advantages: 1  extreme high spatial and depth resolution.he method is based on the measurement of force and displacement during the elastic-plastic contact of a hard reference body (Indenter) with the specimen. Thus it is similar to traditional micro-hardness-testing, whereas it offers some significant advantages:
Nano-material is harder than diamonds. A material that is harder than diamond has been created in the lab, by packing together tiny ânanorodsâ of carbon. The new material, known as aggregated carbon nanorods (ACNR), was created by compressing and heating super-strong carbon molecules called buckyballs or carbon-60.
