Quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation measurement for proving the potential of ionic liquids as selective sensing Materials
Abstract A quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation measurement (QCM-D) was employed for probing the interaction of various room-temperature ionic liquids and different vapours of common organic solvents, of which we here show as an example the...
