Abstract

The morphology of alkane C390H782 using the substrate detachment technique for studies of melt crystallized PE 18-20 by atomic force microscopy (AFM) was investigated. The surface of the polymer sample crystallized in contact with an atomically flat substrate was exposed by gentle detachment from the substrate. Rectangular silicon cantilevers model RTESP7 were used in the investigation. It was observed that a range of morphologies, formed during nonisothermal crystallization can be observed at different distances from the substrate.
