Surface interaction processes and binding of molecules can be characterized by real-time nanoscale techniques, such as QCM-D, which measures mass and thickness.
This blog shows that nanoparticle deposition can improve thin film solar cell efficiency.
The ability to take up and release water is central for many materials, such as hydrogels, whose function depend on the ability to hydrate and dehydrate. Hydration and swelling are also central when dealing with hygroscopic materials. QCM-D can be used to characterize such swelling phenomenon.
Explains the concept of critical micelle concentration and how it can be measured with surface tension measurement.
