This new volume, Microscopy Applied to Materials Sciences and Life
Sciences. focuses on recent theoretical and practical advances in
polymers and their blends, composites, and nanocomposites related
to their microscopic characterization. It highlights recent
accomplishments and trends in the field of polymer nanocomposites
and filled polymers related to microstructural characterization.
This book gives an insight and better understanding into the
development in microscopy as a tool for characterization. The book
emphasizes recent research work in the field of microscopy in life
sciences and materials sciences mainly related to its synthesis,
characterizations, and applications. The book explains the
application of microscopic techniques in life sciences and
materials sciences, and their applications and state of current
research carried out. The book aims to foster a better
understanding of the properties of polymer composites by describing
new techniques to measure microstructure property relationships and
by utilizing techniques and expertise developed in the conventional
filled polymer composites. Characterization techniques,
particularly microstructural characterization, have proven to be
extremely difficult because of the range of length-scales
associated with these materials. Topics include: *Instrumentation
and Techniques: advances in scanning probe microscopy, SEM, TEM,
OM. 3D imaging and tomography, electron diffraction techniques and
analytical microscopy, advances in sample preparation techniques
in-situ microscopy, correlative microscopy in life and material
sciences, low voltage electron microscopy. *Life Sciences:
Structure and imaging of biomolecules, live cell imaging,
neurobiology, organelles and cellular dynamics, multi-disciplinary
approaches for medical and biological sciences, microscopic
application in plants, microorganism and environmental science,
super resolution microscopy in biological sciences. *Materials
Sciences: materials for nanotechnology, metals alloys and
inter-metallic, ceramics, composites, minerals and microscopy in
cultural heritage, thin films, coatings, surfaces and interfaces,
carbon based materials, polymers and soft materials and
self-assembled materials, semiconductors and magnetic materials.
Polymers and inorganic nanoparticles. The volume will be of
significant interest to scientists working on the basic issues
surrounding polymers, nanocomposites, and nanoparticulate-filled
polymers, as well as those working in industry on applied problems,
such as processing. Because of the multidisciplinary nature of this
research, the book will be valuable to chemists, materials
scientists, physicists, chemical engineers, and processing
specialists who are involved and interested in the future frontiers
of blends.
