Equipment
-
Nanoindenting is a method for characterizing a material's mechanical properties on a very small scale. -
The ultramicrotome is used to cut very thin sections of specimens. This is required for some techniques like TEM and AFM. -
Scanning probe microscopes, like the Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) and the Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM), are used to image and measure properties of material, chemical and biological surfaces -
Microwave Digestor -
Electro-Spinner -
Creates homogenous emulsions and suspensions & reduces the size of solid particles. -
Homogenization, dispersion, and size reduction of solid particles suspended in viscous liquids, such as epoxy. -
Rapid, high shear mixing of viscous liquids and solid particles. Particle size reduction. -
Argon rich atmosphere workstation, less than 10ppm water and oxygen. -
Measurement of nanoparticle surface area. -
Reducing particles to micron-scale size.
