N2 - AFM has an advantage of obtaining topographic and mechanical properties at the same time. In analyzing the force curve using Hertz theories, elastic modulus was obtained with nanometer-scale resolution. Furthermore, sample deformation by the force exerted was also estimated from the force curve analyses. We can reconstruct a real topographic image by incorporating apparent height with deformation image. We apply this method for obtaining information about mechanical properties of a polymer ABC. We show the detail of this procedure and new information about polymer ABC.
