# Laboratory characterization of nanomaterials by AFM

## Your needs: you wish to analyze your nanomaterials by Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM)

### What is Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM)?

The AFM is a local probe microscope, high resolution allowing to visualize the topography of the surface of a material but also the tribology, the mechanical, electrical or chemical behavior.

### Why analyze your nanomaterials by Atomic Force Microscope (AFM)?

The analysis of your nanomaterials by AFM can have different advantages, in particular the measurement of :

- roughness parameters of your nanomaterials
- elasticity properties
- the size
- size distribution
- the shape,
- agglomeration/aggregation state, 
- etc,…

Thus, the support of a laboratory specialized in the analysis of nanomaterials by AFM is an indispensable asset in the optimization of your products and materials.

## FILAB supports you in the analysis of your nanomaterials by AFM

With an analytical park of 2,100m² and a section dedicated to the analysis of nanomaterials, the laboratory offers support services in the classification and development of your products based on nanomaterials or nanoparticles.
