| Abstract Scope |
Nanoindentation is a technique with which mechanical properties of materials, even when they are available only in small quantities, can be measured with high precision. As a result of this particular advantage, this technique can be utilized for inter-disciplinary research between chemists and materials engineers. Our recent work had demonstrated that the mechanical properties of single crystals of molecular solids can not only be measured, but also connected to the underlying structural features and intermolecular interactions. Further, we have demonstrated that the knowledge so gained can be utilized for identifying the design principles for organic materials with desired properties as well as for the study of the 'microstructure' in them. This talk will illustrate these through the presentation of a few representative examples of our studies. |
