Description

McMaster University invites qualified bidders to submit responses for the supply of an Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) in accordance with the terms of this Request for Proposals.

Our projects involve the preparation of numerous polymeric, nanostructured, and small molecule substances that require analysis by AFM. In particular, we are interested in the selective interactions between conjugated polymers and single-walled carbon nanotubes. The imaging of polymer-nanotube complexes requires an AFM instrument with extremely high resolution, and the capability to differentiate between semiconducting and metallic nanotubes (conductive AFM). This equipment will help identify the types of nanotubes in a given sample, the location of nanotubes within polymer composites, and the degree of alignment of nanotubes of substrates.
