Case Study
Nano-testing the standards
Using NPL's Jamin laser interferometer to calibrate a displacement transfer artefact to an ISO 14577 compliant specification Nano-testing the standards UK SME demonstrates that their novel equipment for testing nano-structured materials complies with international standards. The Challenge The Micro Materials Ltd (MML) 'NanoTest' is the only UK manufactured nano-indentation equipment. The NanoTest is ideal for the characterisation of elastic and plastic properties of small volumes of materials such as nano-structured materials, thin films, polymers and biomaterials. There is a rapidly expanding market for academic and industrial nano-scale testing for materials research and development. MML can increase sales by becoming the first supplier in their market to demonstrate full compliance wi
