UV-VIS spectroscopy

UV-VIS spectroscopy is an advanced analytical technique that is also used in surface technology. This special form of spectroscopy uses ultraviolet (UV) and visible (VIS) radiation to obtain information about the physical and chemical properties of material surfaces.

In surface technology, UV-VIS spectroscopy plays an important role in the characterization of coatings, varnishes, paints and other surface materials. By measuring the absorption and reflection of UV and VIS light, the composition, thickness and structure of coatings can be analyzed. This enables precise quality control and optimization of surface materials in various application areas.

UV-VIS spectroscopy is also used to investigate chemical reactions on surfaces. It allows the tracking of molecular changes, chemical bonds and reaction kinetics, which is crucial for understanding the interactions between material surfaces and their environment.

The advantage of this analysis technique is that it is non-invasive and can be performed in real time. This enables fast and precise characterization of surfaces without the need for time-consuming sample preparation. In surface technology, UV-VIS spectroscopy therefore helps to improve the development and quality of materials by analyzing their optical properties in detail.
