16. The PEO film swells in water or DMF. Swelling makes the film thicker, whereas softening allows the AFM tip to penetrate deeper. The film elastic property is also altered. Thus, the thickness of objects involving PEO measured by AFM is subjected to considerable errors. Contrarily, a hard material like SWNT gives a height with reasonable accuracy.
