Summary

Machine-generated summary

The GREMI laboratory is procuring an indenter-scratch device for the mechanical characterisation of thin films. Much of the material studied at the laboratory consists of coatings from a few tens of nanometres up to two micrometres thick, based on transition metals, metallic or oxide/nitride types. Some of the finest coatings are made of carbon nanostructures, others contain nanoparticle heterogeneities. The laboratory also studies porous materials such as foams and disordered carbons, biological soft materials and surface modification. The laboratory currently has no equipment to measure the adhesion and mechanical surface properties of these materials, which this acquisition is intended to address.

Description

Une large part des matériaux étudiés au GREMI se présente sous la forme de revêtements de quelques dizaines de nanomètres d’épaisseurs allant jusqu’à deux micromètres. Ces revêtements sont en général à base de métaux de transition, purement métalliques ou de type oxydes/nitrures. Les plus fins d’entre eux peuvent être constitués de nanostructures carbonées tandis que d’autres peuvent inclure des hétérogénéités de type nanoparticules. Plus récemment, le laboratoire s’est intéressé à la synthèse ou la modification de surface de matériaux poreux de type mousses ou carbones désordonnés ainsi qu’à l’élaboration de matériaux mous tels que des matériaux biologiques. Actuellement, le laboratoire ne dispose pas d’équipement pour mesurer l’adhésion et les propriétés mécaniques de la surface de ces matériaux.
