Nanomechanics for Coatings and Engineering Surfaces

Capture the cutting edge of surface science with Nanomechanics for Coatings and Engineering Surfaces by Ben Beake. This authoritative title immediately draws you into the microscopic world where coatings meet mechanical performance, offering essential insight for engineers, researchers, and materials scientists.

Discover clear explanations of nanoscale testing and analysis—nanoindentation, AFM-based methods, thin-film mechanics, adhesion and wear mechanisms—presented with practical relevance for industrial coatings, biomaterials, microelectronics and tribological systems. Ben Beake blends rigorous science with real-world examples so you can translate lab measurements into better-performing surfaces.

Imagine engineering coatings that resist wear, reduce friction, and extend component life. This book shows how a nuanced understanding of mechanical properties at the nanoscale informs formulation, process control and failure analysis. Whether you work in R&D, quality assurance or academia, the techniques and interpretations here help you diagnose problems faster and design surfaces that meet demanding specifications.

Tailored for an international audience—from the UK and Europe to North America and Asia—this resource balances theory and applied practice. It’s ideal for postgraduate students, surface engineering professionals, and industrial scientists who need a concise, reliable reference to advanced nanomechanical testing and coating performance.
