Atomic force microscopy in process engineering : introduction to AFM for improved processes and products /

Show other versions (3)

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a surface imaging technique that can be applied at sub-nanometre resolution in liquids and gases. The same instrumentation can also be used to quantify directly the forces of interfacial interaction in such environments and is therefore a critical tool for process en...
