The Role of Nanoparticles on Topographic Cross‐Talk in Electric Force Microscopy and Magnetic Force Microscopy Hasselt University
Topographic cross-talk is still an issue in magnetic force microscopy (MFM) as well as in electric force microscopy (EFM). Using interleave mode measurements, combining a first topographic scan with a second scan in a certain distance from the surface following the topography from the first scan, capacitive coupling effects occur while measuring nanoparticles. This article focuses on the influence of the dielectric constant of polystyrene ...
Magnetic Imaging of Encapsulated Superparamagnetic Nanoparticles by Data Fusion of Magnetic Force Microscopy and Atomic Force Microscopy Signals for Correction of Topographic Crosstalk Hasselt University
Encapsulated magnetic nanoparticles are of increasing interest for biomedical applications. However, up to now, it is still not possible to characterize their localized magnetic properties within the capsules. Magnetic Force Microscopy (MFM) has proved to be a suitable technique to image magnetic nanoparticles at ambient conditions revealing information about the spatial distribution and the magnetic properties of the nanoparticles ...

A comparative study of bitumen microscale morphology using atomic force microscopy and laser scanning confocal microscopy University of Antwerp
Bituminous binders can display a rich microscale morphology, including the so-called bee structures. In literature, a strong relationship has been observed between the presence of paraffin wax crystals and the appearance of bee structures, mainly by using Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) measurements. The most common AFM testing mode is the tapping mode, and although this is described as a non-contact measuring method accidental collisions between ...
New evidence on the origin of ‘bee structures’ on bitumen and oils, by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) Vrije Universiteit Brussel University of Antwerp
Bitumen is a complex mixture whose composition–structure-property relationships are not well-understood. Therefore, it is essential to understand which components may develop microstructures, how and when these features appear, and if they are initiated or influenced by other components. Many studies have reported so-called bee structures as well as other phases on bitumen surfaces. A large number of observations point towards the ...
Fluorescence Microscopy, Single Fluorophores and Nano-Reporters, Super-Resolution Far-Field Microscopy KU Leuven
Fluorescence microscopy, arguably the most popular branch of optical microscopy, has undergone tremendous changes in recent years. These include ultrasensitive detection down to single molecules and the development of schemes that circumvent the diffraction limit. This chapter gives some background to single-molecule fluorescence microscopy, the most popular microscopy modes for single-molecule detection and a selection of polymer problems that ...
Degradation of thin poly(lactic acid) films: Characterization by capacitance-voltage, atomic force microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and contact-angle measurements Hasselt University
For the development of new biopolymers and implantable biomedical devices with predicted biodegrad-ability, simple, non-destructive, fast and inexpensive techniques capable for real-time in situ testingof the degradation kinetics of polymers are highly appreciated. In this work, a capacitive field-effectelectrolyte–insulator–semiconductor (EIS) sensor has been applied for real-time in situ monitoring ofdegradation of thin poly(d,l-lactic acid) ...
