Researchers have used tip-scan high-speed atomic force microscopy combined with an optical microscope to observe light-induced deformation of azo-polymer films. The process could be followed in real ...
Atomic force microscopy reveals three distinct dynamic states in individual polymer chain segments on surfaces, challenging ...
Expanding our understanding of a particular process, material, or mechanism usually requires taking a close look at what is going on. Researchers in Japan have now observed the nanoscale behavior of ...
Russian scientists have proposed a theory of phase transformation in polymer gels. It explains the mechanisms of the dramatic reduction in volume of zwitterionic hydrogels when they are cooled. The ...
The structure of semi-crystalline polymers largely depends on how strongly their molecular chains are entangled. Following numerous experiments, researchers developed a new model to predict the ...
One of the earliest iterations of the microscope was built in the 1600s by the microscopy pioneer Antonie van Leeuwenhoek. His work not only developed the field of microscopy but opened up the study ...
(Nanowerk News) Take a photo with your phone and you might see wonderful details—leaves on a tree, strands of hair blowing in the wind. The width of that strand of hair is 100,000 nanometers wide. The ...
Multilayer polymer laminate packaging materials are carefully engineered composites, with each polymer layer selected to deliver specific chemical and physical properties. This design allows for the ...
Researchers from Osaka University combine high-speed atomic force microscopy with a laser light source for real-time observation of azo-polymer films Osaka, Japan – Expanding our scientific ...
