The surface properties of polymeric materials are central to their behavior in formulation and manufacturing processes, as well as in their target applications. The atomic force microscope (AFM) is a powerful tool for characterising polymer surfaces at the nanoscale. It provides not only surface morphology, but also phase contrast between different components in polymer blends.
UK productivity hindered by digital skills deficit – report
This is a bit of a nebulous subject. There are several sub-disciplines of 'digital skills' which all need different approaches. ...
