OUR MISSION

Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM):

imaging, friction force microscopy, Kelvin probe force microscopy, force spectroscopy, functionalization of solid surfaces and AFM probes

​

Single Molecule Force Spectroscopy:

adhesion and friction mechanisms between single polymers and solid substrates or thin polymer films in solution

​

Tribology:

friction properties of single molecules, polymer films and biomolecules
