Title: Investigation of mechanical properties and deformation behavior of nanoporous alumina film by nanoindentation Keywords: Nanoindentation, nanoporous alumina, deformation, mechanical Abstract: Over the past decade, anodic aluminium oxide (AAO) has become one of the most widely used materials as a platform for developing new types of devices in micro- and nanotechnology. Due to the potential use of highly ordered honeycomb porous AAO membranes in many engineering applications, considerable attention is being paid to the mechanical characterization of such thin films. In this study, the mechanical properties and deformation behavior of a nanoporous alumina film were investigated by nanoindentation. AAO films with an average pore diameter of 40 nm were fabricated electrochemically. The morphology and the mechanical properties of AAO were studied using scanning electron microscopy and nanoindentation, respectively. The force-displacement dependences obtained revealed that in the case of a freestanding AAO membrane the sample demonstrates extremely high elasticity. The indentation modulus and the hardness were found to decrease nonlinearly with an increase in the applied force. References Issue
