Environmental scanning electron microscopy for biology and polymer science
نویسنده
چکیده
Electron microscopy of materials in a gaseous environment has its origins as far back as about the 1950s for the transmission electron microscope (TEM), later followed by developments for the scanning electron microscope (SEM). Focusing on the latter, this review outlines the history and commercial development of the technology, culminating in the environmental SEM (ESEM), and the techniques for applying ESEM to materials of interest in biology and polymer sciences. corresponding author details Dr Debbie J Stokes, FEI Company,

Characterization Study for Nanocompositions of Methylene Blue and Riboflavin-Nafion on the Electrode Surface
Nafion is a perfluorinated anionic polyelectrolyte. The increasing popularity of nafion for the fabrication of redox polymer modified electrodes in recent years arises from easy fabrication, good electrical conductivity and high partition coefficients of many redox compounds in nafion. To investigate the production of nano-compositions by mixing electron transfer material and nafion polyme...

متن کاملPET/Mica nanocomposites for food packaging: crystallization behavior and mechanical properties
Nowadays polymer nanocomposites have introduced as a new class of food packaging materials due to their enhanced mechanical, thermal, and barrier properties. In this study PET nano composites were prepared by melt blending of poly (ethylene terephthalate) pellets and mica nanoparticles. The morphology of PET/mica nanocomposites was characterized by X-ray diffraction and transmission electron mi...
