A review on the mechanical properties of cement-based materials measured by nanoindentation (2015, background): “[48] proposed a surface criterion of nanoindentation on cement paste based on the results of the statistical nanoindentation technique on a w/c (water to cement ratio) = 0.”
The nano-mechanical signature of Ultra High Performance Concrete by statistical nanoindentation techniques (2008, background): “guarantees a root-mean-square roughness inferior to one order of magnitude of the average penetration depth [29].”
Application of nanoindentation testing to study of the interfacial transition zone in steel fiber reinforced mortar (2009, background): “So far, polishing procedures for cement clinker [29] and hardened cement paste [32,34,40] have already been discussed in the literature.”
Utilization of iron ore tailings as fine aggregate in ultra-high performance concrete (2014, background): “Proper sample preparation is critical for the test in order to achieve as flat a surface as possible [12].”
Long-term creep properties of cementitious materials: Comparing microindentation testing with macroscopic uniaxial compressive testing (2014, methodology): “[19] Mahalia Miller, Christopher Bobko, Matthieu Vandamme, and Franz730”
Critical aspects of nano-indentation technique in application to hardened cement paste (2011, methodology): “The resulting root-mean-square roughness, measured by Hysitron Nanoindenter on the 60 μm area with 1 Hz scanning rate after average plane subtraction, was 30–40 nm for all samples, which is sufficient for 150 nm and deeper indentation [10].”
Nanogranular packing of C–S–H at substochiometric conditions (2010, methodology): “The above surface preparation technique consistently gave RMS roughness below 20 nm for cement pastes and enables to obtain repeatable nanoindentation results [30].”
