Sinopsis
The highlights of this book include an examination of the use of scanning probe microscopy to characterize a variety of polymeric materials, from polymer single crystals and molecular films to composites and biopolymers. The volume provides a synthesis of critical overviews and important new developments, including applications in atomic resolution, chemical force microscopy, and recognition/nanolithography. It includes a review of basic principles and operational modes, terminology, trends, and a discussion of key industrial applications, such as polymer fibers, polymer composites, and filled polymers. It also includes chapters on biopolymers and living cells and on methods for probing micromechanical properties.
Reseña del editor
Reports on recent research in the field, offering 21 papers by contributors from 12 countries. An introductory chapter overviews basic principles and explains terminology and trends. The first three sections are devoted to surface morphology and microstructure of various polymer surfaces by different scanning probe microscopy (SPM) modes. Section IV discusses nanoprobing of polymer surface properties, and a final section describes the latest developments in SPM applications. Developed from an August 1996 symposium.
