On the track of the properties of organic & inorganic surfaces
Surfaces of food, wood and textiles are examples of the daily contact to which the consumer has the highest demands. Whether it is the compatibility of contact lenses, the growth of mussels on ship hulls or surface enlargement in catalysis, in all cases the properties of surfaces play a decisive role.
In order to better understand surface properties, well-defined model systems (self-assembling monolayers (SAMs)/metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are required, on which physicochemical properties, chemical activity and physical properties can be investigated and precisely determined using technical analysis methods.
