Join us for an engaging discussion on the latest in polymeric applications and research. Following presentations from our guest speakers we will have live in-lab demonstrations of the techniques and modes featured.
Guest Speakers:
- Gregory Meyers, Dow Chemical
- Dr. Philippe Leclere, University of Mons
- Bede Pittenger, Bruker
Symposium Topics
- High-resolution electrical characterization with KPFM and TUNA provide insight into material performance and help to optimize organic photovoltaics and Li-ion batteries.
- Applications of AFM in characterizing the mechanical properties and chemistry for development of new materials and troubleshooting production issues for the polymer materials industry.
- Strengths and weaknesses of common AFM modes when applied to polymers and composites.
- Practical considerations like probe selection and system calibration.
