PolyInsight : Atomic Force Microscopy Services for Nanostructured Materials

Specialists in Atomic-Force Microscopy (AFM) for Nanotechnology and Materials R&D

PolyInsight is an independent analytical testing laboratory specializing in the application of atomic-force microscopy (AFM) to materials research and development.   We have over 15 years of experience using AFM to investigate both the surface and the internal structure of a wide variety of materials.

Our clients use this structural information to gain knowledge about material performance. This knowledge ultimately helps address their material production issues or guide their new product development projects. AFM is a premier tool for investigating structure at the nanometer size scale, and thus finds wide application to nanotechnology R&D programs.

PolyInsight offers AFM testing and consulting services to meet a variety of research, development, product and process troubleshooting, and intellectual property needs.

For information on how PolyInsight can help maximize the performance of your material, call us at 330-777-0025 or email info@polyinsight.com

AFM image of a multi-component polymer nanocomposite coating, commonly known as 'paint'. The performance of paint depends on the nanometer-level dispersion of all components; this paint contains three different polymers and a particulate filler. They are distinguished in this image based on their mechanical property (hardness) differences.
