CMTC-Development

CMTC is developing new competencies and new characterization techniques through strong collaboration with its partners

The development activities are currently focused on :

• Development of a micro-robot in an Environmental Scanning Electron Microscope to study the deformation of natural fibres, collaboration with the LGP2 Laboratory and OFFIS, University of Oldenburg, Germany

• A new TEM-STEM equipped with a field emission gun (FEG) to achieve nano-metric resolution. Around this equipment will be conducted specific developments such as coupling chemical mapping and ASTAR mapping for phase identification, collaboration with CEMAM

• A new high resolution analytical SEM equipped with a field emission gun and EDS & EBSD systems, coupling X-ray chemical mapping and simultaneous EBSD orientation mapping. Original developments of in-situ nanoindentation in the SEM will be conducted for both mechanical and electrical measurements, collaboration with CEMAM
