Confocal Raman Microscope Exposes Diffusion Kinetics

Using confocal Raman microscopy, researchers at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City are measuring the diffusion of molecules into polymer particles. The work could help people get their medicine continuously and could help clean up the environment. The diffusion of molecules out of polymers plays an important role in the action of time-release drugs, and the uptake of molecules into polymers is a basis of environmental remediation. “These diffusion kinetics govern the time profile of release,” said chemistry professor Joel M. Harris. He and his students have found that the diffusion...Read full article
