A nanoindentation apparatus is used to measure adhesion strength of a hard, thin film to a soft substrate. A variably increasing load is applied to the indenter tip. The indenter tip penetrates into the thin film at a first penetration rate and causes the thin film to sink into the substrate thus causing...http://www.google.es/patents/US6339958?utm_source=gb-gplus-sharePatente US6339958 - Adhesion strength testing using a depth-sensing indentation technique
