Abstract

This paper focuses on nano-scale analysis of mechanical properties of polymer and carbon nanotubes (CNT) embedded MEMS devices using the probe tip of the Atomic Force Microscope (AFM). The mechanical properties of surfaces of layered materials were investigated by using nanoindentation produced with tips of an AFM. Experiment results indicated the bending characteristics of the device and could also indicate the Young's Modulus of the CNT embedded micro structure. Our objective is to determine the nano-scale mechanical properties and piezoresistivity of bulk carbon nanotubes using the local probe manipulation.
