For soft films on hard substrates, the reduced modulus can increase with indentation depth.
Further the soft films are found to have good wear properties.
Efforts to increase the fraction of the BN phase resulted in soft films.
In contrast, integrins were found to play a pivotal role in early adhesion: their activation significantly enhanced C2C12 myoblast spreading on soft films, where they were otherwise round.
In the present study, the concept of the 'effectively shaped indenter' was used to analyse nanoindentation data of rather soft films on hard substrates.
It seems that the determination of the Young's modulus of very soft films cannot be separated from the determination of the yield stress.

Its soft film-industry satire, glossy hedonism and strong chemistry among the cast made it an enjoyable, if unchallenging, show to watch.
This would be related to the wettability of the capped soft film to the precursor solution.
The soft film was then peeled off by a programmed mechanical hand after 20 min of hydrolysis; consequently, a raw TiO2 film was obtained (Fig. 1d).
A larger wettability implies a larger capillarity between the soft film and solution, which helped form a thin uniform liquid film [27].
The precursor solution spreads out into a liquid film through the capillary attraction between the precursor solution and soft film (Fig. 1c).
