A device enabling quantification of molecular and nanoparticle diffusion within thin solvated films

Project description

New tool that measures diffusion could aid development of high-performance coatings

The EU-funded DIFFUSION project plans to develop an easy-to-use device to analyse diffusion processes within thin solvated films. The new analytical tool, which is conceived as a modular add-on device that enhances the capabilities of existing optical microscopy set-ups, should provide information that is instrumental to the development of high-performance coatings. The technology has the potential to enhance research and development in industry and academia, especially in materials science and engineering, physics, chemistry and biology.
