Nanomaterials have found their way into ordinary products such as foods, cosmetics, and sportswear. Why did ‘nano’ become so popular? And what risks are involved when getting exposed to these nanoengineered entities?
Many phenomena that we perceive at the macroscale originate in surface interactions at the nanoscale. Research and product development are continuously going on to explore such processes which impact us, and the world we live in.
Get on top of the key facts and fundamentals of the lipid bilayer formation process with our selected list of 8 publications.
Here we list 10 methods that can be used to characterize the nanoparticle chemical composition.
At first glance, SPR and QCM-D are quite similar. Here we sort out the key differences between them and list examples of when to use which method
Working in a surface science lab, you surround yourself with analysis equipment that you need to progress in your work. The benefits of running combination measurements could be three-fold.
The quartz crystal microbalance, QCM, has been around since the 60’ where it has been used for monitoring of thin-film deposition and characterization of thin films. So how does this technology work?
Model membranes are used in various fields of research. Read about how these lipid membranes can be characterized using QSense QCM-D technology.
Nanoparticle size is one of the key parameters that are relevant to characterize in nanoparticle suspensions. Here we list six different methods that you can use to characterize the nanoparticle size.
