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.
