Surface characterization

Uitgebreide vaknaam	Surface characterization
Leerdoelen	At the end of the course, the student is able to: 1) able to apply general and specific physico-chemical theories to interpret results of several techniques for the characterization of surfaces. 2) interpret the results of most commonly used techniques for surface characterization. 3) explain the basics of the most commonly used techniques for biomaterials surface characterization in a presentation. 4) clearly evaluate research from scientific literature and explain why specific characterization techniques are used.
Omschrijving	To obtain knowledge of several techniques for the characterization of surfaces. In addition to two introductory courses on surface characterization, specific courses will be given by the instructor on X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy, InfraRed Spectroscopy, Contact angle measurements, Electrophoresis, Atomic Force Microscopy, Quartz Crystal Microbalance, Secondary Ion Mass Spectroscopy and Nanoscale Magnetometry.
