QCM-D, An Advanced Analytical Tool For The Study Of Nanoscale Surface Interactions - 19 Aug 2013

19 - 23 August 2013, AUS

Quartz Crystal Microbalance with Dissipation monitoring (QCM-D) technology is a real-time surface sensitive technique which enables the characterisation of surface interaction processes such as mass uptake/mass loss at surfaces, conformational changes of molecular layers, as well as viscoelastic characterisation films adhering to the sensor surface.

Join us to learn more about the basic principles of the QCM-D technique and the application areas where it can be used. We will also discuss different ways to analyse QCM-D data, modelling fundamentals and how to extract information on mass, thickness and viscoelastic properties of the surface adhering layers.
