The Symposium follows up the European Symposia on nano-mechanical Testing in Hückelhoven in 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2003. It is addressed to the growing European community of nano-mechanical testing.

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.
