Spectroscopy and Material Characterization Unit

Summary

The activity of the Unit in terms of used instrumentation has been rather constant during last five years.

In 2021, the use of physisorption instrument (AUTOSORB) started to be charged.

Number of Experiments per Instrument

In 2021, the rheometer was adapted to carry out a rheological study of photoinduced polymerization of resins.

The device dedicated to monitor reactions by FTIR, the called React IR, was used to study an electrochemical synthesis reaction. To run this experiment, a special reaction cell was designed and fabricated in the glass blowing workshop.

Long-persistance luminescence was measured using Horiba Fluorolog instrument.
