Description
Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a surface imaging technique that can be applied at sub-nanometre resolution in liquids and gases. The
same instrumentation can also be used to quantify directly the forces of interfacial interaction in such environments and is therefore
a critical tool for process engineers and scientists, where AFM investigations are leading directly to improved processes and products.
This is the first book to bring together both the basic thory and proven process engineering practice of AFM, and to present them in
a way that is accessible and valuable to both practising engineers, those who are improving their AFM skills and knowledge, and to researchers
who are developing new products and solutions using AFM.
The book takes a rigorous but practical approach to ensure that it is also
directly applicable to practical process engineering problems. Fundamentals of the techniques are concisely described and specific benefits
for process engineering clearly defined and illustrated. Coverage of applications of AFM to important areas of process engineering is
comprehensive. Each of the chapter authors are recognized authorities on their subject.
Audience
Practising chemical, biochemical and process engineers, research and development engineers and scientists
