What does Nanoindentation mean? Nanoindenter is basically used to secure mechanical features or properties at the micro or nanoscale using a powerful technology known as Nanoindentation. Nanoindentation is used to secure material parameters e.g. hardness (H), elastic modulus (Es), viscous or plastic parameters using experimental readings of penetration (h) and indenter load (P ). It should be noted that the forces involved are normally in the micro-Newton or mili-Newton range and the depth will also be in the nanometer range. It should be remembered that very little volume of material, on the order of several tens of nanometers, could be determined with just the tip of the nanoindenter and that the characteristics of the material could be determined, for example a very small piece of material [ 1-2]. Background: The indentation technique was first applied in the early 20th century by Hertz in his theoretical work to determine hardness. Then researchers like Field and Swain in 1993 were interested in defining the hardness of the material, the elastic limit or even Young's modulus with a new spherical indentation technique. Later, it should be noted that there are different types and shapes of indenters which are used to perform a variety of inspections, tests as well as the analytical definitions of hardness value by several scientists and researchers such as Chudoba, Oliver , Pharr, Bolshakov and Schwarzer for over 10 years. In the current situation, the indentation technique has been improved in order to benefit from additional fundamental mechanical properties, e.g. modulus of elasticity, hardness, resistance to scratches of various types...... middle of paper. .....properties of insect cuticle rubber, J.
