Atomic force microscopy (AFM) has been extensively used for the nanoscale characterization of polymeric materials. The coupling of AFM with infrared spectroscope (AFM-IR) provides another advantage to the chemical analyses and thus helps to shed light upon the study of polymers. This paper reviews some recent progress in the application of AFM and AFM-IR in polymer science. We describe the principle of AFM-IR and the recent improvements to enhance its resolution. We also discuss the latest progress in the use of AFM-IR as a super-resolution correlated scanned-probe infrared spectroscopy for the chemical characterization of polymer materials dealing with polymer composites, polymer blends, multilayers, and biopolymers. To highlight the advantages of AFM-IR, we report several results in studying the crystallization of both miscible and immiscible blends as well as polymer aging. Finally, we demonstrate how this novel technique can be used to determine phase separation, spherulitic structure, and crystallization mechanisms at nanoscales, which has never been achieved before. The review also discusses future trends in the use of AFM-IR in polymer materials, especially in polymer thin film investigation.

The construction of functional hyperbranched polymers with unique topological structures and distinct properties remains a great challenge. Multicomponent polymerization, as a fascinating polymer synthetic approach, has proved to be a powerful tool for the synthesis of polymers with diverse structures and multifunctionalities, which is a great advantage for the preparation of hyperbranched polymers. In this work, a multicomponent polymerization of alkynes, sulfonyl azide, and iminophosphorane is utilized for the construction of heteroatom-rich hyperbranched poly(phosphorus amidine)s with different topological structures and fluorescence response toward platinum group metal ions.

Polymer materials range from industrial commodities, such as plastic bags, to high-tech polymers used for optical applications, and all the way to biological systems, where the most prominent example is DNA. They can be crystalline, amorphous (glasses, melts, gels, rubber), or in solution. Polymers in the glassy state are standard materials for many applications (yogurt cups, compact discs, housings for technical equipment, etc.).

Ferrocene-based hyperbranched polymers were prepared with different shapes of spheres and hollow polyhedra, and the 3D topological structures were studied as electroactive materials and precursor-derived magnetic ceramics, respectively.

AbstractHelium ion microscopy (HIM) is a relatively new high-resolution nanotechnology imaging and nanofabrication tool. HIM offers a near-molecular resolution (approaching that of TEM) combined with a simplicity of sample preparation and high depth of field similar to SEM. Simultaneously, the technique is not limited by the surface roughness as scanning probe microscopy (SPM) techniques or by the surface charging or radiation damage like SEM. In our review, we consider general principles, advantages, and prospects of HIM application in polymer science. Examples of high-resolution imaging of polymer-based nanocomposites, polymer nanoparticles, nanofibers, nanoporous materials, polymer nanocrystals, biopolymers, and polymer-based photovoltaic and sensor devices are presented. We compare the HIM’s applicability with other modern imaging techniques: SPM and SEM.

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) has been extensively used for the nanoscale characterization of polymeric materials. The coupling of AFM with infrared spectroscope (AFM-IR) provides another advantage to the chemical analyses and thus helps to shed light upon the study of polymers. In this perspective paper, we review recent progress in the use of AFM-IR in polymer science. We describe first the principle of AFM-IR and the recent improvements to enhance its resolution. We discuss then the last progress in the use of AFM-IR as a super-resolution correlated scanned-probe IR spectroscopy for chemical characterization of polymer materials dealing with polymer composites, polymer blends, multilayers and biopolymers. To highlight the advantages of AFM-IR, we report here several results in studying crystallization of both miscible and immiscible blends as well as polymer aging. Then, we demonstrate how this novel technique can be used to determine phase separation, spherulitic structure and crystallization mechanisms at the nanoscale, which have never been achieved before. The review also discusses future trends in the use of AFM-IR in polymer materials, especially in polymer thin film investigation.
