Surface and Colloid Characterisation Facility

表面和胶体表征设施：表面科学是生物界面和胶体科学的核心。该设备将能够测量颗粒的大小、形状、分布、表面积和电荷，以及吸附到界面上的材料的量、材料的结构和表面对诸如改变pH或盐度等刺激的反应。所有这些参数都影响着这些重要系统的性质。因此，这一设施将在未来十年支持三个机构的若干小组的研究，并促进具有从生物学到离子液体等表面科学重要领域的一系列互补专业知识的科学家之间的合作。

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.
