Tennessee
Prof. Peter Grau / Martin-Luther-Universität
Halle-Wittenberg
Prof. Mathias Göken / Universität Erlangen
Dr. Steve Bull / University of Newcastle / UK

The symposium covers the theory and practice of determining mechanical properties of materials with small diamond probes in the nanometer range.
A special focus of the symposium will be the indentation phenomena in polymers.
Other Main Topics:
- Theoretical aspects of nanoIndentation testing
- nanoIndentation, nano-Scratch and wear
testing;
testing practice and relation to other methods - Semiconductor Techniques
(Screening / Combinatorial Methods) - Polymers and Biomaterials
- Quantitative SPM imaging
The symposium will be held in English. One page abstracts have to be submitted by April 16 th , 2004. The acceptance of oral presentations / posters will be announced by May 17 th. Deadline for early registration: June 18 th.
Publications: The Symposiums-Papers will be published together in the Journal “Zeitschrift für Metallkunde”. The papers will be collected during the conference, revised and submitted to the Editor.
