High Temperature TEM Heating Stage for Investigating SWCNT Dispersions in Polymers
Abstract
The Fusion-500 TEM hot-stage holder will significantly expand our ability to investigate nano-filler modified high-performance polymer nano composites using the existing TEMs currently present at the Chapel Hill Analytical and Nanofabrication Laboratory (CHANL). This probe will allow us to investigate in-situ changes in materials (e.g. soft matter, (nano)composites/nanomaterials, metals and ceramics) as a function of temperature (T max = 1200 C) such as crystallization, melting and other phase transitions with high resolution. This capability can be used, for example, to learn more about phase transformation kinetics and investigate how materials fatigue. The TEM hot-stage holder will be managed and operated by the staff of CHANL and made available to other UNC-based research groups.
