Nanoporous gold (NPG) is an attractive model system for studies of small scale mechanical behavior. Its centimeter-sized open porous bodies are structured by a monolithic network of struts or ”ligaments”. The ligament size can be tuned in the range of a few to several hundred nanometer. In the last years several studies find the mechanical behavior of NPG reproducible and highly consistent, except that the results fall in groups of substantially different strength. A widespread theory connects these differences to the variation of solid fraction due to different preparation. Here, we present a systematic investigation of the influence of preparation for the mechanical properties of NPG, using the most common preparation methods. Precursor alloys AuxAg100−x with x=20,25,30,35 are dealloyed electrochemically in 1 M HClO4 and with free corrosion in concentrated HNO3. Using continous loading and load/ unload compression tests we investigate the stress-strain behaviour, Young’s modulus and Poisson’s ratio and confirm substential differences depending on the initial alloy composition.
