Research People Equipment Publications

Our group operates several advanced experimental techniques: for polymer characterization and investigation of their physical and physico-chemical properties:

 
·          6 commercial (ALV, Malvern) and home-built static and dynamic light scattering instruments that besides routine mesurements offer several advanced features:
o       measurement in an extremely broad temperature range from -130 to 400 oC
o       measurement in infrared region (980 nm) for systems absorbing light in the visible range
o       measurement in electric field for determination of electrophoretic mobility and zeta potential (colloid stability) of nanoparticles
o       measurement of light scattering under ionizing radiation
·          particle tracking microscope (Nanosight) providing the number density and distribution of nanoparticles in solution
·          temperature-controlled static birefringence instrument for determinaton of order-disorder and order-order transitios
·          Electron paramagnetic resonance instrument (Bruker) including imigaing technique ESRI
·          advanced SAXS/WAXS instrument (Molmet) with a Osmic microfocus source.
