In this dissertation I explain the theoretical and experimental details of nuclear magnetic resonance force microscopy (NMRFM). I report the data that I have collected on ammonium hexafluorophosphate at room temperature using NMRFM. This experiment measured cantilever deflection as a function of applied magnetic field. I also report on the progress of a new dynamical room-temperature NMRFM microscope. I describe the new probe and its advantages over the previous generation probe and I show the current calibration measurements. / text

In this study, bulk conductivity of commercial base paper impregnated with different ionic liquids blends and additives, through bench coating was investigated. Bulk conductivity of base paper, ion conductive paper and surface sized ion conductive papers with and without the influence of calendering were evaluated at different concentrations of ionic liquids using at resistivity cell and four point probe technique. It was shown that bulk conductivity of base paper was increased by increasing the amount of ionic liquids. Nano fibril cellulose also showed positive influence on the bulk conductivity of coated papers. By increasing the line load in the calendering machine, a positive influence on the bulk conductivity was observed. The tensile index of all the coated papers was lower than that of the base paper.
