    Nano-compatible tensile testing machine
    (2024) Johnson, Martez; Scott, Austin; Izadian, Afshin
    The Nano-Compatible Tensile Testing Machine (NCT TM) represents a collaborative effort to develop a system for measuring the mechanical proper ties of nanomaterials. This project integrates interchangeable load cells, alongside a digital caliper within a single system that interfaces with a user’s microscope. This data combined with what the user can gather via their microscope capabilities will enable precise assessment of tensile strength, yield strength, and Young’s modulus. By bridging the gap between traditional testing methods and the unique challenges posed by nanotechnology, the NCT TM promises to advance research capabilities within materials science here at IUPUI.
