You are working as a quality control engineer in a glass manufacturing company. What characterization technique would you use for routine and quick analysis to decide whether any impurities from the glass melting furnaces are introduced to your glass products? Explain your reasoning
Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) are powerful tools for imaging the micro- and nano-structure of a material. (a) Which technique provides higher imaging resolution, SEM or TEM? (b) Why does this technique provide higher resolution? Describe your reasoning. (c) A polymer sample is mounted on a solid metal stub and coated with a conductive layer. Which electron microscopy technique is the sample prepared for? (d) Why do we need a conductive coating on the polymer sample? Explain in terms of both the material and the imaging technique. (e) What information could Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy tell us about the sample? (f) Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) enables high resolution surface imaging and measuring surface properties of samples. Describe one way that this (stiffness mapping) procedure can be done?
Some of our modern kitchen cookware is made of ceramic materials. (a) List at least three important characteristics required of a material to be used for this application. (b) Make a comparison of three ceramic materials as to their relative properties and, in addition, to cost. (c) On the basis of this comparison, select the material most suitable for the cookware.
