Answering the Need for Fast Physical Property Mapping! Fast and High-Resolution Visualization of Mechanical Properties

User Benefits

- Faster measurement of mechanical properties is possible in comparison with the conventional technology. - Enables high-resolution visualization of distributions of elastic modulus and adhesion, which are mechanical properties

Introduction

Remarkable advances have been achieved in the functional properties of polymeric materials in recent years, and technologies that enable quantitative evaluation of the nanostructure and elastic modulus of those materials are now required. Although the scanning probe microscope (SPM (AFM)) is used in those evaluations, fast physical property mapping by Shimadzu SPM-Nanoa has realized high-speed measurement of mechanical properties. This article introduces an example of fast and high-resolution visualization of the distributions of the elastic modulus and adhesion of polyethylene (PE) by fast physical property mapping using a SPM-Nanoa and Shimadzu nano physical property evaluation software “Nano 3D Mapping™ Fast.”
