Optical and scanning electron microscopies cross-fertilization : Application to worn carbon/carbon composite surface studies

Optical microscopy (OM) as well as scanning electron microscopy (SEM) are classical techniques for carbon surface studies. However few studies have compared images obtained from them in spite of the rich new information, not attainable if using only one of them. This letter will show how such compar...

Description
Summary:Optical microscopy (OM) as well as scanning electron microscopy (SEM) are classical techniques for carbon surface studies. However few studies have compared images obtained from them in spite of the rich new information, not attainable if using only one of them. This letter will show how such comparison is useful for the study of wear mechanism during friction between carbon/carbon composites.
