摘要: Subsurface characterization of carbon nanotubes?(CNTs) dispersed in free-standing polymer composite films was achieved via quantitative electric force microscopy?(EFM). The effects relative humidity, EFM probe geometry, tip?sample distance and bias voltage on the contrast were studied. Non-parabolic dependence signal subsurface CNTs composites observed a new mechanism proposed taking consideration capacitive coupling as well coulombic coupling. We anticipate that this technique will be useful tool for non-destructive high dielectric constant nanostructures low matrices.
