Methods of Instrumental Analysis

FCH-MC_MIAAcad. year: 2021/2022

Instrumental techniques for characterization of properties of colloids (particles size and charge, interactions, thermodynamic and transport properties) and surface (wetting, contact angle, atomic force microscopy), methods for analysis of colloidal and special materials (thermic, viscoelastic, electric and electro-optical properties, microscopy).

Aims

Describe the principles of selected techniques of structural analysis, methods used for characterisation of colloidal systems and materials generally used in modern chemistry, chemical technology and in surface analysis. Describe the ways how to select appropriate instrumental technique, settings the measurement parameters and data processing.
