We are making the case for a universal 3D visualization system for new advanced materials development. The equipment requested in this grant application is a multifunctional digital microscope (Keyence VHX-2000 digital microscope) with 3D profile measurement capabilities to be used in experimental studies of micro and nano-features of advanced materials and devices: polymers, composites, foams, bone tissue cells, microfluidics and photovoltaics. The goal of this program is to have state of the art equipment in Advanced Materials for the newly developed Institute for Advanced Manufacturing at the University of Toronto and the objectives are three folds: i) to visualize and model the polymer blends and composites in real time processing; ii) to precisely control the topology of biomedical tissues in particular the micro cell mechano-testing device used in bone structure adaptation iii) accurate and automated depth measurement for microstructured surfaces of topologically-patterned polymer and superconductors surfaces. Accurate and dynamic measurements and characterization of micro and nano-features is the main function of the requested system. Using the proposed microscope, however, the acquisition of such measurements will be achievable. The measurements can be used to study the effects of various processing, material and system parameters on the final product/device properties. Applications in this research program include: functional foams, tissue engineering, sensors and transducers, photovoltaic and optoelectronic devices. The requested system will be part of the open access infrastructure for the newly developed Institute for Advanced Manufacturing at the University of Toronto. The system crucial for all the applicants since it will represent state of the art visualization system in their labs from various Departments units in the University of Toronto: Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering and Institute of Biomaterials and Biomedical Engineering.
