Invertible Polymers for the Stabilization of Nanoparticles

Kohut A., Voronov A., Peukert W., Friedrich-Alexander-University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, DE

A new range of amphiphilic polyesters with both hydrophilic and hydrophobic functionalities alternately distributed in the polymer backbone has been synthesized. These polyesters are soluble in aqueous and organic media, where they reveal inverse behavior [...]

Nanometre particle sizing and stability measurement with tabletop PCCS

Laemmle W., Sympatec GmbH, DE

Modern materials very often derive their properties from nano-particles. This implements a fast growing demand for control of particle size in this field. The most popular technique to do so is PCS, photon correlation spectroscopy. [...]

Nanoscale Deformation Measurements for Reliability Assessment of MEMS and NEMS

Keller J., Vogel D., Michel B., Fraunhofer Institute for Reliability and Microintegration (IZM), DE

Recent advances in microtechnology and the development of new electronics and micro/nanosystem devices in automotive industry, communication sector and life science have led to a strong need in material characterization on the micro and nano [...]

The Casimir Force and quantum interaction between conducting macro-bodies at nanoscale distances

Petrov M., Petrov V., Petrov M., Petrov V., Bryksin V., Petter J., Tschudi T., Darmstadt Technical University, DE

We report for the first time on the optical detection of a periodical mechanical interaction between conducting macro-bodies induced by the periodical Casimir force. The influence of conductivity on the Casimir force has been analysed. [...]

Confocal Raman AFM, a powerful tool for the nondestructive characterization of heterogeneous materials

Schmidt U., Vargas F., Kress M., Dieing T., Weishaupt K., Hollricher O., WITec GmbH, DE

The Confocal Raman-AFM is a breakthrough in microscopy. It combines three measuring techniques in one instrument: a high resolution confocal optical microscope, an extremely sensitive Raman spectroscopy system, and an Atomic Force Microscope (AFM). Using [...]

Correlated roughness in polymer film containing magnetic nanoparticles

Abul Kashem M.M., Perlich J., Schulz L., Roth S.V., Müller-Buschbaum P., Technische Universität München, DE

We have investigated the roughness correlation between the substrate and this new type of nanocomposite film, prepared by using diblock copolymer poly(styrene-b-isoprene) as matrix and iron oxide nanoparticles covered with polystyrene hairs from a-lithium polystyrene [...]
