Dr. Shaoting Lin of Michigan State University presents his research on hydrogel adhesions and coatings. Dr. Lin's work is at the intersection of polymer science, solid mechanics, and advanced manufacturing, and he used a KLA nanoindentation system to study the effects of static and cycling loading as they contribute to hydrogel failure.

Nitride films are ubiquitous in their use as hard, wear-resistant coatings. In this work, we help contribute to a scale-bridging model, helping build understanding of how initial plasma parameters affect the mechanical properties of the final coating system. To this end, we study the effect of transition metal species and oxygen content in transition metal aluminium (oxy)nitride coatings.

The analysis of deformation and failure mechanisms in small-scale devices and thin films is a critical issue, not yet solved. In this presentation, we describe recent advances and developments for the measurement of fracture toughness at small scales by the use of nanoindentation-based methods, including beam-bending methods and micro-pillar splitting. A critical comparison of the techniques is...
