In situ crystallization study in PET films by elevated temperature AFM/UFM

The crystallization process in poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) films was followed using both scanning probe microscopy, and FTIR spectroscopy in reflection mode. Nano-meter scale grains of the average size of 10 to 40 nm were observed after annealing of PET films in situ under scanning probe micr...
