Nanoparticle analysis techniques like electron microscopy enable the in-depth characterization of nanoparticles. By shedding light on the structure-property relationships nanoparticle analysis solutions play an important role in advancing the polymer and metal research fields.
Nanoparticle analysis using electron microscopy has emerged as a critical technique in advancing polymer research. The technique provides important insights into the nanoscale behavior of polymers and their interactions with nanoparticles.
High-resolution images reveal the spatial arrangement of nanoparticles, their dispersion, and agglomeration behavior within the polymer matrix. This detailed characterization of nanoparticle-polymer interfaces enables scientists to study the structure-property relationships and understand how the presence of nanoparticles influences the mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties of polymers.
Nanoscale precipitates are commonly used in metal alloys as a means of controlling grain size and improving strength and ductility. To achieve this goal, niobium, titanium, and vanadium are alloyed in steel to form tiny carbides, nitrides and carbonitride non-metallic particles or precipitates. In alloy systems such as aluminum or nickel, nanoscale intermetallic compounds are formed during aging treatments to improve properties. Using electron microscopy, the composition and thermal processing of all metals can be conducted to determine the population of precipitates, which in turn determines the final product properties.
