Surface and Colloid Characterisation Facility

表面和胶体表征设备：表面科学是生物界面和胶体科学的核心。该设施将能够测量颗粒尺寸、形状、分布、表面积和电荷，以及吸附到界面的材料量、该材料的配置以及表面对pH值或盐度变化等刺激的反应。所有这些参数都影响着这些重要系统的性能。因此，该设施将在未来十年内支持三个机构的多个小组的研究，并促进科学家之间的合作，这些科学家在表面科学从生物学到离子液体等重要领域具有一系列互补的专业知识。

Surface and colloid characterisation facility: Surface science lies at the heart of biointerface and colloid science. This facility will enable particle size, shape, distribution, surface area and charge to be measured as well as the amount of material adsorbed to interfaces, the configuration of that material and the response of the surface to stimuli such as changing pH or salinity. All these parameters influence the properties of these important systems. As such this facility will underpin the research of a number of groups across three institutions over the next decade and promote collaboration between scientists with a range of complementary expertise in fields where surface science is important from biology to ionic liquids.
