NMR Mouse Features

Solvent ingress into polymers

Profiles showing the structure of a gasoline tank wall, and the ingress of gasoline for different exposure times.

An interesting application of the profile NMR-MOUSE is the study of dynamic transport processes happening at the material surface, such as the ingress of solvents into solid materials.

Multi-layer cement materials

Profile of a multi-layer polymer coating used to protect concrete surfaces from environmental corrosion.

In many cases, not only high spatial resolution but also a large penetration depth, is desired. It can be achieved with the PM10, which provides a penetration depth of 10 mm.

Non-destructive characterization of paintings

Profiles of paintings where different layers can clearly be resolved.

The conservation of cultural heritage is a particular field where the use of non-destructive characterization methods is mandatory considering the uniqueness of the object under study.

Profiling human skin in vivo

Comparison of skin profiles measured on the palm and the lower arm. Using a nominal spatial resolution of 20 µm the total acquisition time per point was 20 seconds.

Taking advantage of the high spatial resolution achieved with the profile-MOUSE the skin structure can be studied in vivo.
