Micro Materials,  is very pleased to announce that our Director of Materials Development, Prof Ben Beake has recently achieved the impressive milestone of  7,000+  citations (7,168 to be precise)!  

Congratulations to Ben -  and thanks to all our research collaborators within the materials science community.

To find out more about the nano-mechanical testing capabilities  developed over the years by Ben and project partners, please explore the Test Techniques area of the website.

If your research involves nano-scratch testing, you may be particularly interested in MML's newly-developed statistically-distributed nano-scratch test technique. It’s a unique tool to help design more damage-tolerant materials.  The technique provides greater sensitivity to weak coating adhesion than a standard nano-scratch test.
