Abstract
Nanoscaled/nanocomposite thin films with improved mechanical/tribological properties are presented. First some basic effects determining these properties in the case of nanophase materials (Hall-Petch effect, Griffith mechanisms, grain boundary sliding) are introduced. After presenting briefly a classification of nanoscaled thin films, emphasis is given to multilayer and nanocomposite films. For both classes, examples are given, and the underlaying mechanisms are discussed in some detail.
