Paints have a history nearly as long as humanities. Modern paints are typically made of pigment, resin, solvent, and additives and are applied to a substrate (like a wall) and convert to a solid film upon drying. Paint and the coatings that we apply to protect them are a major contributor to the US economy and projected to have a value of around $30 billion by 2019. https://www.parksystems.com/medias/nano-academy/webinars

The Park Systems 2019 Materials Matter Material Science Research and AFM Webinar Series continue with Langmuir Blodgett Films and AFM. Langmuir Blodgett Films and Adsorption phenomena are true nanoscale tools to access 2-D ordering at the air-water interface. Through the years, SPM, STM and AFM methods have played key roles in utilizing this method to investigate materials systems. This webinar is the eleventh in our 2019 Material Science Research and AFM Webinar Series “Materials Matter,” designed to help researchers understand leading-edge developments in Materials Science Research and Applications using Atomic Force Microscopy. To view videos of the previous webinars in our series, click the titles on our webinar page. Langmuir Blodgett Films Langmuir–Blodgett (LB) films are nanostructured systems formed when Langmuir films - or monolayers - are transferred from the liquid-gas interface to solid supports during the vertical passage of the support through the monolayers.

The applications team at Park Systems is proud to present an introduction to Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM), a characterization technique that can achieve atomic resolution both vertically and horizontally. STM utilizes a sharp conducting tip and applies a bias voltage between the tip and the sample. When the tip is brought close to the sample, tunneling current occurs and changes exponentially as distance increases, thus providing a remarkably high resolution. This webinar will explain the basics of STM and review ambient and liquid STM experiments using Park NX series AFM systems. More recent advances in our powerful data analysis software, SmartScan, will be introduced, including PinPoint mechanical mode Nanolithography functions. Presented By : Jiali Zhang, Ph.D., Applications Engineer, Park Systems Jiali Zhang, Ph.D., is an engineer for Park Systems, where she focuses on the installation and support of AFM systems for Park’s research user base.

The applications staff of Park Systems is proud to present an introduction to electrochemical atomic force microscopy (EC-AFM), a characterization technique derived from Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) that can observe the nanostructures formed on electrode surfaces during electrochemical reactions. In EC-AFM, users typically perform voltammetry and corrosion experiments using an electrochemistry cell and a choice of potentiostat or galvanostat depending on the electrochemical application of interest. Join us as the Technical Marketing staff at Park Systems, explains the basics of EC-AFM and reviews a multiple cyclic voltammetry experiment involving copper deposition onto a gold sample's surface (and its removal) using a potentiostat, the Park NX10 AFM System, and optional EC Cell.

In this webinar hosted by Nano Nature, guest presenter Dr. Vladimir Korolkov (Senior Application Scientist at Park Systems UK) will demonstrate how to better understand the overall structure of polymers. You will learn to resolve individual polymer chains in real space, and witness how atomic force microscopy (AFM) can be used to acquire ultra-high-resolution images of individual PTFE-molecules on the semi-crystalline surface of commercial Teflon tape. In the second part of this webinar, you'll be given a comprehensive demonstration of the Nano platform by the expert Product Manager at Nano Nature, Dr Pranoti Kshirsagar.
