surface analysis of plastics via atomic force microscopy
Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) is the most powerful microscopic technique, which offer three dimensional images of the scanned material with exceptional detail and resolutions. Unlike the other microscopy techniques AFM is does not use light or electrons to see the surface, it “feels” it instead with a very fine and sharp cantilever and a mounted tip. The tip is scanning the surface in two directions and gives the profile of the scanned surface in sub-nanometer detail.
在塑料工业中，AFM通常用于研究材料中聚合物混合物之间的相分离，添加剂的分散，颗粒，结晶速率，摩擦特性，表面粗糙度等。
Atimpactwe collaborate with Prof. Vasileios Koutsos group at the University of Edinburgh in order to use this technique for several internal and external polymer development projects.
