Tracking down the properties of organic & inorganic surfaces

 

Surfaces of foodstuffs, woods and textiles are examples of everyday contact that consumers demand the highest standards of. Whether it is the compatibility of contact lenses, the growth of mussels on ship hulls or the surface enlargement in catalysis, in all cases the properties of surfaces play a decisive role.
