Giant Hardness of Heat-Treated Glass-Nanocomposites
Our results open the way to the preparation, application and investigation of significant mechanical properties of new type of copper-molybdate glass-nanocomposites and their heat-treated counterparts. We have observed giant hardness, shear modulus and yield stress, even greater than
that of steel. This surprising result shed some light on the materials for their important potential applications in which a material of high strength and hardness is needed. It deserves further intensive exploration by advanced methods such as the one presented here.
Keywords: GLASS-NANOCOMPOSITES; MECHANICAL PROPERTIES; SHEAR MODULUS; VICKER'S HARDNESS
