Polymer science often combines the interdisciplinary perspectives of chemistry, physics, engineering, and biology. The research efforts in this field yields exciting new materials used in items from tires to medical devices. Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) has proven to be a useful tool, aiding in the development and characterization of new materials and thin films of soft polymers. Park Systems provides a variety of basic and advanced modes to identify enabling materials and soft polymers.
