Characterization: of interfacial equilibria and colloidal interactions

mainly pH and ionic strength dependent properties tuned by surface modifying agents

pH-dependent charge state of particles and molecules (Potentiometric acid-base titration system)

Particle size and size distribution, coagulatoin kinetics by dynamic light scattering (NanoZS and Zetasizer4)

Charge state of particles by laser Doppler electrophoresis (NanoZS)

2-D interactions in floating films by Langmuir-balance (MicroTroughXL)

Flow properties of materials, flow curves, creep tests, oscillation measurements, etc. (RS150 rheometer)

Magnetic measurements, particle separation by size using various magnetic field strengths (Hall-probe, Separator)

UV-visible optical properties of materials (dioda array spectrophotometer)

Magnetic hyperthermia simulation (Magnetherm)

Advanced methods (XRD, TEM, SEM) for further characterization of nanoparticles are available at our University.
