Mechanics of calcite-polymer microcomposites using nanoindentation and micro-compression

The aim of this project is to investigate the suitability of specific polymers inclusions in improving some important mechanical properties of single crystals of calcite. The mechanical properties of synthetic and mineral single crystals of pure calcite are reported and compared with synthetic and b...
