Polymers are materials composed of repeated chains of molecules. Both natural and synthetic polymers possess many important properties that are influenced by the conformation and composition of ...
Polyethylene (PE) is a semicrystalline polymer that is one of the most extensively manufactured polymers in the world for consumer products and packaging. Shopping bags, milk bottles, storage ...
AFM facilitates atomic resolution imaging of insulator and conductor surfaces. One of the techniques utilizing AFM is frequency-modulation AFM (FM-AFM), which has been used for the atomic-resolution ...
(a) Molecular structure of PITTI-BT. (b) Photograph of PITTI-BT film. (c) P-xylene solution of PITTI-BT. AFM images of the polymer films prepared by (d,g) on-center and (e,f,h,i) off-center SC methods ...
Researchers imaged nanoscale photocurrents in an all-polymer blend solar cell using photoconductive atomic force microscopy. Trace solvent additives were found to enhance polymer ordering and ...
Traditional Conductive AFM (C-AFM) seems to be moving aside to make space for a more advanced technology: ResiScope III – a new module for the Nano-Observer II AFM system. This move represents a major ...
