3. A Topographic Study of Functional Surfaces
Abstract : Surface topography through the years has taken on increased importance, because of the rise in quality demands. The surface often has to meet additional functional demands when products become more complex in accordance with customer preferences. READ MORE

4. Mechanical properties of carbon nanotubes and nanofibers
Abstract : Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have extraordinary electrical and mechanical properties, and many potential applications have been proposed, ranging from nanoscale devices to reinforcement of macroscopic structures. However, due to their small sizes, characterization of their mechanical properties and deformation behaviours are major challenges. READ MORE

5. Surface nanomechanical properties of hydrogels and coatings
Abstract : Characterizing mechanical and wear properties at the nanometer scale emerged as a fascinating and challenging topic in the last decades due to recognition of many interesting and unusual properties of nanomaterials. Due to recent developments of the atomic force microscopy (AFM) technique, it is now possible to measure nanomechanical properties and topography simultaneously, as well as performing and evaluating wear measurements at the nanometer scale.
