Dear Reader,
Recently, I have prepared a polymeric nanofiber using PVA polymer doped with some nanoparticles and I want to find out its microhardness. So, I was planning to do nanoindentation characterization. The nanofibers were fabricated by electrospinning method and it was obtained as a thin layer coated on a glass substrate, the thickness of the nanofibers was found to be in the ranges 31 nm to 120. As I am expecting meaningful results, what could be the appropriate load and loading rate to carried nanoindentation on the nanofiber?.
Thank you
