Chemical Characterization of Heterogenous Polymeric Materials on the Nanoscale Using Photothermal AFM-IR

Discover how photothermal AFM-IR can provide new insights into your polymer research.

Photothermal AFM-IR provides nanoscale chemical information that directly correlate to FT-IR transmission spectroscopy.

During this webinar, the speaker considers how photothermal AFM-IR can benefit the polymer characterization applications of:

  • Multilayer films
  • Polymer blends/block copolymers
  • Organic photovoltaics

Webinar Summary
 

This webinar covers numerous academia and industry applications in the field of polymer characterization. To illustrate the broad applicability, select examples are discussed in detail, ranging from phase separation in polymer blends/block copolymers and reverse engineering in multilayer films to fibers and thin film characterization. This webinar shows how photothermal AFM-IR provides nanoscale chemical information with highly resolved IR spectra that directly correlate to FT-IR transmission spectroscopy.
