The purpose of this study was to evaluate the dispersion degree of particles using a nanoindentation test for titanium oxide nanoparticles/epoxy resin nanocomposites. Thus, the effects of the particle size and weight fraction, dispersion agent, and position of the sample on the modulus and degree of particle dispersion in the nanocomposites were investigated. As a result, the dispersion degree of large particles was found to be better than that of smaller particles in composites. It could be found that the aggregation or agglomeration of small particles with large surface energy occurred more easily in nanocomposites because of the large specific surface area. The moduli of the upper side of the film-shaped sample obtained from a nanoindentation test were low scattering, while the values for the bottom side were high scattering. Thus, the dispersion situation of the nanoparticles on the upper side of film-shaped samples could be considered to be better than that for the bottom side. This could be concluded due to the non-uniform nanoparticle dispersion in the same sample. The modulus obtained from nanoindentation test increased slightly with the content of nanoparticles and increased with the indented depth for the same sample. The latter is presumably due to the increase in the accumulated particles facing the indenter with the indented depth. The nanoindentation test was found to be a useful method to evaluate the dispersion status of nanoparticles in nanocomposites.

Nanoindentation is simply an indentation test in which the length scale of the penetration is measured in nanometres rather than microns or millimetres, the latter being common in conventional hardness tests. Three-dimensional molecular dynamics simulations have been conducted to evaluate the nanoindentation test. Molecular dynamics simulations were carried out on single crystal copper by varying crystal orientations to investigate nano-behavior of material beneath an indenter in nanoindentation. Morse potential function was used as an interatomic force between indenter and thin film. The result of the simulation shows that crystal orientation significantly influenced the slip system, dislocation nucleation and dislocation behavior.

Elastic and plastic deformation behaviors of the high purity aluminum and the silica glass were studied using nanoindentation and finite element analysis(FEA) techniques. Berkovich- and cone-type indenters were used for the nanoindentation test. Deformation behaviors and nanoindent profiles of elastic, elastic-plastic or plastic materials were clearly visualized by FEA simulation. Effects of the penetration depth and strain hardening on the deformation behavior were examined. Pile-up and sink-in behaviors were studied by using FEA technique. Degree of pile-up or sink-in was found to be a function of the ratio of elastic modulus to yield strength of materials. FEA was found to be an effective method to study deformation behaviors of materials under nanoindentation, especially in the case when pile-up or sink-in phenomena occurred.

In this study, to achieve the optimal conditions for mechanical hyper-fine pattern fabrication process, deformation behavior of the materials during indentation scratch test was studied with numerical method by ABAQUS S/W. Brittle materials (Si, Pyrex glass 7740) were used as specimens, and forming conditions to reduce the elastic recovery and pile-up were proposed. The indenter was modeled as a rigid surface. Minimum mesh sizes of specimens are 1-l0nm. Variables of the nanoindentation scratch test analysis are scratching speed, scratching load, tip radius and tip geometry. The nano-indentation scratch tests were performed by using the Berkovich pyramidal diamond indenter. Comparison between the experimental data and numerical result demonstrated that the FEM approach can be a good model of the nanoindentation scratch test. The result of the investigation will be applied to the fabrication of the hyper-fine pattern.

Stress-strain curves are fundamental properties to study characteristics of materials. Flow stress curves of the powder materials are obtained by indirect testing methods, such as tensile test with the bulk materials and powder compaction test, because it is hard to measure the stress-strain curves of the powder materials using conventional uniaxial tensile test due to the limitation of the size and shape of the specimen. Instrumented nanoindentation can measure mechanical properties of very small region from several nanometers to several micrometers, so nanoindentation technique is suitable to obtain the stress-strain curve of the powder materials. In this study, a novel technique to obtain the stress-strain curves using the combination of instrumented nanoindentation and finite element method was introduced and the flow stress curves of Fe powder were measured. Then obtained stress-strain curves were verified by the comparison of the experimental results and the FEA results for powder compaction test.

본 연구에서는 벌지 실험과 나노 압입 실험을 통해 박막의 기계적 물성을 측정하였다. 벌지 실험은 외적 지지구조를 가지지 않는 박막 시편의 한 면에 일정한 압력을 가하여 박막의 변위를 측정, 압력과 변위의 관계를 이용하여 박막의 기계적 물성을 측정하는 실험이다. 나노 압입 실험은 시편에 압입 방향으로의 하중과 시편의 표면으로부터 압입자의 깊이에 대한 데이터를 통하여 시편의 기계적 물성을 측정하는 실험으로 modified King's model 을 이용하여 모재의 영향이 고려된 박막의 물성을 구할 수 있다. 두 실험은 탄성 계수와 푸아송비의 수학적 관계가 다르기 때문에 벌지 실험과 나노 압입 실험결과로부터 박막의 탄성계수와 푸아송비를 동시에 측정할 수 있다.

The hardness and elastic modulus of three bulk materials are computed from the load and displacement data which are measured during basic nanoindentation test and compared with values determined by independent means to assess the accuracy of the method. The results show that with this technique, modulus and hardness and elastic modulus profile through depth of silicon nitride and silicon oxynitride films. The results show that for silicon nitride film deposited on silicon, hardness and elastic modulus increase as the volume ratio of NH3 : SiH4, which had been used for deposition, increases up to 20.0; and for silicon oxynitride film on silicon, the hardness and elastic modulus profile changes distinctly as the relative amount of oxygen in deposition gas mixture changes.

To improve the mechanical properties of most structural materials for industrial applications, the control of microstructure is essential by heat treatment process or plastic deformation process. Since the mechanical behavior of structural materials is significantly influenced by their microstructure, it is inevitably preceded to understand the relationship between microstructure and strengthening mechanisms of materials which can be easily changed by heat treatment. In this regard, the nanoindentation test is useful technique for analyzing the influence of the localized microstructural change on small-scale mechanical behavior of various structural materials. Here, the interesting studies performed on various heat-treated materials are reviewed with focus on micromechanical properties obtained by nanoindentation, which are reported in the available literature.

In this study, the feasible test for the mechanical property characterization of $BaTiO_3$ ceramics and multi-layer ceramic capacitor(MLCC) was performed with nanoindentation technique. In case of $BaTiO_3$ ceramics, hardness and elastic modulus are dependent on the densification of specimen showing the highest hardness and elastic modulus values of 12.3 GPa and 155 GPa, respectively at $1260^{\circ}C$. In case of MLCC chip, hardness of dielectric layer was lower than that of margin region. The nanoindentation method could be useful tool for the measurement of mechanical property within $BaTiO_3$ dielectric layer of very thin thickness in high capacitance MLCC.
