Electron microscopy (EM), complemented by other techniques, has played a very important
role in the elucidation of morphology and structure-property correlations of polymers …

With the rapid development of polymer materials, the simultaneous acquisition of micro‐
nano structure and mesoscopic mechanical properties from the material surface with the …

This report deals with the study of the plastic deformation processes of semi-crystalline
polymers at the micrometric and nanometric scales by atomic force microscopy. Capturing …

Hypothesis Adhesion between particles and a filter fiber is an important process of the
filtration as it dictates the process of separation and in the following the detachment process …

A procedure has been developed for the direct atomic force microscopic (AFM) examination
of the native structure of high‐density polyethylene (HDPE) deformed in an adsorption …

Here, we report in situ AFM tapping-phase study of polyurea's nano and mesoscale phase
transitions within the submicron-size field of view. To this end, we designed and assembled …

A portable universal tensile testing machine for single and cyclic loading of superelastic
biomaterials is presented. It's an alternative to large-sized stationary universal testing …

To facilitate the study of deformation mechanisms and mechanical properties of bulk
materials with feature size of centimeter level, a novel tensile device compatible with …

Functional materials represented by ferromagnetics and ferroelectrics are widely used in
advanced sensor and precision actuation due to their special characterization under …

In this paper, a novel micro-tensile testing apparatus is designed and built to characterize
the micromechanical behavior of materials. Furthermore, a special geometry for micro …
