Plasma emission spectrometers have shown a rapid growth. This holds also for NMR spectrometer sales because of new applications in biomedical research and more sophisticated experimental methods using increased computing power. Similarly, Raman spectroscopy, traditionally used in academic research, is gaining acceptance in industrial R D and quality control applications. Materials research and surface analysis in a variety of industries keeps the sales of electron microscopic, electron spectroscopic, ion spectroscopic, and X-ray instruments growing. Details of the various techniques on surface and interface characterization which are also important in R D of chemical sensors themselves, can be found in Chapter 3, Section 3.4.2.

An overview about the most important analyzing techniques to observe and describe the self-organizing process in solid state (bulk) in its duration or as a result is presented in Table 11.5. Table 11.6 summarizes surface-relevant methods. For more detailed information about surface and interface characterization methods for polymers, see Reference 108. Particularly useful is the combination/hyphenation of methods.

Jean-Pol Delrue is with the IRIS (Institute for Research in Interface Science) group in Namur, Belgium. He received his Ph.D. degree in 1978 followed by postdoctoral fellowship at Stanford University. His research concerns mainly catalysis on thin films, surface and interface characterization of solid state devices and has published several papers on thin films.
