From functional polymer composites to wearable electronics or 2D materials or biological structures, local variations in mechanical properties dictate the macroscopic properties. Here, atomic force microscopy offers more analytic insights beyond mere topography. In this webinar, we present how Park Systems’ PinPoint mode measures high-speed force-distance curves for each pixel which allows us to study mechanical properties like Young’s modulus, adhesion, or mechanical energy dissipation on a local scale.
