Wear is the process by which material from a surface is removed by another material as a result of mechanical action. Wear is influenced by various factors, such as temperature, speed, load, and whether the load is in reciprocating motion. Among these, temperature has a significant impact on the extent of wear damage. Wear of material surfaces at high temperatures has a complex nature, involving various wear mechanisms such as adhesive wear, so-called abrasive wear, surface fatigue, and oxidative wear.

Acrylic urethane paint is a type of fast-drying protective paint that is widely used in various industrial applications, such as floor paint and automotive paint. When used as floor paint, it can be applied in high-traffic areas such as sidewalks, curbs, and parking lots, where there is a lot of pedestrian activity or frequent passage of rubber-wheeled vehicles.

Material properties such as reactivity and strength can change significantly at high temperatures. Therefore, material selection is crucial not only for industrial products like jet engines and high-temperature manufacturing chambers but also for high-temperature applications such as cooking utensils. Understanding material behavior under various temperature conditions is essential for material selection. This study presents an example of measuring the Brinell hardness of steel samples using a NanoBIA T2000 tribometer over a temperature range of 25°C to 925°C.

Polycarbonate lenses are widely used in many optical applications. Their advantages, such as high impact resistance, lightweight, and low cost during mass production, make them more practical than traditional glass for various uses. Among these applications, there are standards that require safety (e.g., safety glasses), complexity (e.g., Fresnel lenses), and durability (e.g., traffic signal lenses), which can be difficult to meet without using plastic. The ability to meet many requirements at a low cost while maintaining sufficient optical properties distinguishes plastic lenses in this field. However, polycarbonate lenses also have limitations. The main concern for consumers is their susceptibility to scratches. To compensate for this, additional processing is done to apply scratch-resistant coatings. Nanobear utilizes our three measurement devices (profilometer, tribometer, indenter) to verify the important characteristics of polycarbonate lenses.

Coatings are widely used in various industrial fields for purposes such as protecting underlying layers, manufacturing electronic devices, and enhancing the surface properties of materials. Due to their diverse applications, coatings are extensively researched, but understanding their mechanical properties can sometimes be challenging. Coating failure can occur at the micro/nanometer level due to interactions between the surface and the atmosphere, cohesive failure, or poor adhesion at the interface with the substrate. One method for consistently testing coating failure is the scratch test. By gradually increasing the load, it becomes possible to quantitatively compare cohesive failure of the coating (e.g., cracking) and adhesive failure (e.g., peeling).

Polymer coatings are widely used in various industrial fields such as semiconductors, solar energy, optics, and biomedicine to enhance the mechanical properties, abrasion resistance, optical properties, and chemical properties of various substrates. The inherent quality of the coating and the compatibility at the interface of the coating/substrate system determine the durability and lifespan of the polymer coating. Scratch tests and micro-scratch tests have developed into one of the most widely applied methods for evaluating the cohesive strength and adhesive strength of coatings. The critical load at which a specific type of coating failure occurs as the applied load gradually increases is widely recognized as a reliable means to determine and compare the adhesive and cohesive properties of the coating. The most commonly used indenter in scratch tests is a conical Rockwell diamond indenter. However, when conducting scratch tests on soft polymer coatings deposited on brittle substrates like silicon wafers, the conical indenter tends to form grooves that scrape through the coating rather than causing cracks or delamination.

Self-cleaning glass coating has low surface energy that repels both water and oil. This coating forms an easy-to-maintain, non-stick glass surface on the substrate, protecting it from dirt and stains. This simple cleaning coating significantly reduces the amount of water and energy used in glass cleaning. Since it does not require harsh, harmful chemical cleaners, it is an environmentally friendly option for a wide range of applications, including mirrors, shower glass, windows, and windshields, for both residential and commercial use.

Single crystal silicon carbide (c-SiC) wafers are widely used in the manufacturing of microelectronics devices such as integrated circuits (ICs) and photovoltaic (PV) cells.

These wafers serve as substrates for the microdevices formed on their interior and surface. Doping, ion implantation, photolithography patterning, deposition of various materials, and etching are examples of the numerous microfabrication processes that wafers undergo.
