New Insights in Solid Surface Chemistry: Visualization of Adsorption Processes on Solid Surfaces

摘要

The accumulation of compounds dissolved in a liquid on solid surfaces (liquid-on-solid surface adsorption) plays a major role in many processes. The understanding of adsorption characteristics helps to tune solid materials' properties for their specific applications (e.g. improved biocompatibility of plastic or metal implants by adsorption of proteins) and is crucial for the development of formulations (e.g. detergents, shampoos).
