The mechanical and tribological properties of nanostructures

Characterization of the mechanical and tribological properties of nanostructures is a crucial and timely issue for the making of future generation nanodevices and drug delivery systems. However, accurate measurement of those properties is extremely challenging. This keynote talk will address the advances in the development of innovative methodologies for measuring the mechanical and tribological properties of nanostructures, using the state-of-the-art nanomanipulation techniques.
