Laboratory of Nanomechanics
The laboratory of nanomechanics is devoted to the mechanical characterization at micro and nanoscales, studing the deformation, fracture , fatigue and structural integrity of small volumens of materials, coatings, thin films and microstructures and devices, as well as micro and nanomaterials.
The laboratory of nanomaterials is equiped with nanoindentation facilities, scratch-test, mechanical testing machines, wear testing, high temperature furnaces, confocal microscopy, among other facilities.
