Project: Traceable quantitative surface chemical analysis for industrial applications
Accurate chemical measurements at surfaces are vital for all areas of engineering and industry that rely on surface analysis. This includes microelectronics, the development of corrosion resistant materials in aerospace, the assessment of the toxicity of medical implants and the design of industrial catalysts. The properties of a surface and of the bulk material can be markedly different, with bonding, wettability, cell adhesion and reactivity all radically affected by surface chemistry. This project will provide reference materials and develop methods for the highest priority industrial applications leading to cost and time improvements for many industrial processes across Europe.
