Overview

The chamber enables extensive characterization of the temperature dependence of material properties, including phase transitions, film degradation, shrinkage, swelling, and changes in viscoelasticity.

You can conduct closer studies of surface coatings, polymer films and brushes, and nanocomposite materials, but the chamber is also highly useful for characterization of surface interaction processes such as molecular uptake/release, conformational changes, detergent and surfactant efficiency, and sedimentation of oil-based products. This stand-alone chamber is compatible with all modules except for QEM 401 and QWEM 401.

* Note that an exterior heater/cooler aid is required to reach temperatures below RT and above RT +60 °C.
