Abstract

With the development of combinatorial materials research (CMR) methods and high throughput experimentation (HTE) workflows for polymer research applications, the demand for automated, high throughput characterization methods is evident. Solution-based characterization methods like NMR, GPC, viscosimetry, for example and UV-Vis as well as fluorescence plate readers are available. Here we report on the incorporation of automated scanning probe microscopy in the HTE-workflow by demonstrating the evaluation of surface properties and topographies for thin polymer film libraries.
