This area is designed for synthesis and characterization of surfaces and particles. It holds cleanroom class ISO 7 (10 000) and is equipped for the following processes:

Nanosynthesis of films and particles:

• Wet chemical methods (dip / spin coaters, microwave oven, Langmuir-Blodgett through)
• Hydrothermal synthesis (high temperature ovens, autoclaves)

Nanoparticle / structure separation (sentrifuges, ultrasonic disintegraters)

Nanoscale characterisation:

• AFM (Atomic Force Microscope ) in liquid or air
• SECM (Scanning Electrochemical Microscope)
• PSA (Particle size analysis)
• Nanosight

Additional facilities:

• Personal work places (benches, hoods, LAF benches)
• Access to glove boxes (N2, Ar) and Schlenk lines
• General laboratory equipment
• Chemicals: Standard bulk chemicals and consumables are offered. Specialized chemicals / consumables must be covered by the user.
