Indenting Glasses With Indenters of Varying Stiffness and Sharpness
A group of researchers developed a spray coating method that maintained transparency while possessing superhydrophobic properties. The team quantified the surface roughness using AFM, which complemented optical microscopy, TEM and SEM. Author Johan F.S. Christensen, N.M. Anoop Krishnan, Mathieu Bauchy, Morten M. Smedskjaer Abstract In this study, the effects of both indenter sharpness and stiffness on the indentation response of oxide glasses…
