Abstract

A setup is described where an individual electrospun polyamide fiber is attached to an atomic force microscope (AFM) tip and structural information collected with synchrotron micro Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (μFT-IR). The combination of AFM and synchrotron μFT-IR therefore highlights the potential for recording structure-mechanical property relationships simultaneously in materials with sub-micron dimensions.
