Effective surface preparation technique for cementitious samples in nanoindentation testing

The nanomechanical properties of cementitious materials determined by nanoindentation largely depend on the surface roughness and intrinsicmaterial porosity of the samples. Studies have shown that high surface roughness causes an overall reduction in themeasured indentationmodulus and hardness. Ther...
