Afm Force Curve Analyzer 1.0.0v1.0.0

Measure Young's modulus and adhesion of catalyst coatings on electrodes before and after electrochemical cycling to quantify mechanical degradation (e.g., swelling, embrittlement). Correlate modulus changes with potential from LSV/CV data to predict cycle life.

Use AFM force curves to map adhesion force distribution across a coating surface. Identify delamination-prone areas by comparing pull-off work to reference values for materials like NiOOH or Pt.

Extract nanoindentation modulus (Sneddon model) from force-distance curves for polymer nanocomposites with conductive fillers. Compare fresh vs. aged samples to assess filler-matrix interfacial degradation.

Monitor adhesion and elastic modulus of IrO₂ or RuO₂ catalysts on Ti substrates during potential cycling. Use potential-correlation plots to identify potentials where catalyst detachment or softening occurs.

Generate 2D modulus maps of hydrogel or tissue scaffolds using Hertz/Sneddon models. Compare fresh vs. enzymatically degraded samples to quantify local stiffening or softening.

Cloud-based analysis service where users upload AFM data files and receive processed CSV/PNG/JSON outputs. Subscription tiers based on number of force curves processed per month.

Standalone software installed on local AFM workstation. Single payment for full-featured perpetual license plus optional annual maintenance for updates and new indenter models.

Bundle the analyzer with new AFM systems from key vendors (Bruker, Asylum, JPK) as an add-on software package. Revenue-sharing agreement with hardware OEMs.
