Abstract

The use of a temperature controlled stage, combined with electronic control of the effective quality factor of the atomic force microscope cantilever to allow faster scanning, has enabled real-time measurements of spherulitic growth at the lamellar scale over the full range of crystallisable temperatures in polyhydroxybutyrate-co-valerate (PHB/V). A possible future route to considerably increased scan-rates has also been explored, and imaging rates approaching the millisecond level have been obtained.
