Abstract:

The detailed experimental procedure of using nanoindentation technique to determine the longitudinal elastic modulus and nano hardness of tracheids secondary wall was emphasized, base on which the longitudinal mechanical properties of Chinese Fir tracheids were measured. It was indicated both hardness and elastic modulus of latewood secondary wall were higher than earlywood cell wall. The longitudinal elastic modulus and hardness of latewood tracheids S2 layer were 14.844Gpa and 0.390Gpa respectively, while and earlywood cell wall S2 layer had a corresponding value of 9.823 and 0.306Gpa.

Key words: Nanoindentation technique, Tracheids, Elastic modulus, Hardness
