Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a powerful characterization tool for polymer science, capable of nanoscale revealing structures and morphology without the need for extensive sample prep or vacuum environment. AFM has developed into a multifunctional technique suitable for characterization of topography, adhesion, mechanical, and other properties on scales from tens of microns to nanometers. In this talk, using AFM, we analyzed morphologies of various biomaterials and measured molecular interactions with the force of a piconewton force range. It is becoming clear that AFM is an indispensable analytical tool for in-depth understanding of the biological processes, and catalogue of new applications is being revised continuously. |
