Water-Dependent Micromechanical and Rheological Properties of Silica Colloidal Crystals Studied by Nanoindentation

Here we show the suitability of nanoindentation to study in detail the micromechanical response of silica colloidal crystals (CCs). The sensitivity to displacements smaller than the submicrometer spheres size, even resolving discrete events and superficial features, revealed particulate features wit...
