Understanding the Basics of Nanoindentation and Why It Is Important
Contact damage induced brittle fracture is a common problem in the field of brittle solids. In the case of both glass and ceramics and as it relates to both natural and artificial bio-materials it has triggered the need for improved fabrication technology and new product development in the industry.
The Nanoindentation Technique Is Especially Dedicated to Brittle Materials

Understanding the Basics of Nanoindentation and Why It Is Important
There has been enormous growth in the use of medical implants. However, in the case of hip replacement, loosening of metallic prosthesis fixed with polymethylmethylacrylate bone cement has resulted in painstaking revision surgery, which is a major problem for the patient, surgeon, and biomedical technology itself. In fact, global recognition of this problem led to the development of cementless fixation through the novel introduction of a bioactive hydroxyapatite (HAp) coating on biomedical-grade metallic implants. Since then, a wide variety of coating methods have evolved to make the HAp...
