An upgraded nanoindenter facility with in-situ Raman at high temperature

该LIEF赠款旨在升级现有的TI950纳米压痕仪，并采用新系统， 拉曼光谱系统，具有一个共享的平台，独特地实现了材料的组合评估 从室温到800摄氏度，具有亚微米或跨越毫米大小的区域。设备 与许多增强功能将是独一无二的，在澳大利亚与增加拉曼和热阶段。 拉曼和纳米压痕的组合允许将机械性质与物理性质相关联。 化学键和物理状态、结晶度的体积分级、无定形和 未聚合相、分子取向、残余应变、聚合物交联、表面处理效应。

This LIEF grant aims to upgrade an existing TI950 Nanoindenter with a new system that physically couples Raman Spectroscopy system with on a shared stage that uniquely enables combined assessment of materials with sub-micrometers or spanning millimetre-sized regions from room temperature up to 800oC. The equipment with much enhanced features will be unique in Australia with the added Raman and a hot stage. The combination of Raman and nanoindentation allows the mechanical property to be correlated to physical characteristics such as chemical bonds and physical state, volume fractionation of crystallinity, amorphous and unpolymerised phases, molecular orientation, residual strain, polymer cross-linking, surface treatment effects.
