Ultramicrotomy in Materials Research

Webinar on-demand. In this webinar, we will explore the ultimate preparation method for polymers, metals, and brittle materials that are commonly investigated in the fields of TEM, SEM, and AFM, presented by Helmut Gnaegi.

Ultramicrotomy is a crucial technique for preparing polymer samples for microscopy analysis. Polymers exhibit a wide range of sizes, shapes, and physical/chemical states, making it essential to gather specific information before performing successful ultramicrotomy. Factors such as polymer type, glass transition temperature (Tg), whether it is a blend or composite, processing methods (injection, compression, extrusion, etc.), and the presence of additives, fibers, or nanoparticles play a significant role in the preparation process.

Gain valuable insights into these preparation techniques and learn how to overcome challenges when working with polymers, metals, and brittle materials. Don't miss this opportunity to enhance your understanding of advanced microscopy sample preparation methods.
