Control can enable high-bandwidth nanopositioning needed to increase the operating
speed of scanning probe microscopes (SPMs). High-speed SPMs can substantially impact …

Many structural materials (metal alloys, polymers, minerals, etc.) are formed by quenching
liquids into crystalline solids. This highly nonequilibrium process often leads to …

Over the past 30 years, atomic force microscopy (AFM) has played an important role in
elucidating the structure and properties of polymer surfaces. AFM-based techniques have …

Self-assembly of block copolymers (BCP) into uniform 3D structures in solution is an
extremely rare phenomenon. Furthermore, the investigation of general prerequisites for …

The initial host response to healthcare materials' surfaces after implantation is the
adsorption of proteins from blood and interstitial fluids. This adsorbed protein layer …

After the fundamental structure of semicrystalline polymers—platelike crystallites with
thicknesses in the nanometer range, embedded in a liquid matrix—was discovered in the …

The crystallization degree in semi-crystalline thermoplastics plays an important role in
determining the final properties of structural composite material (eg toughness, stiffness and …

Recently, polymer crystallization in ultrathin films (thickness less than 100nm) on solid
substrates has attracted increased attention. As it can be considered to be a quasi-two …
