SURFOX: Research in IMS

1
SURFOX Research in IMS

• Research resources in IMS
• Leader Prof. Toivo Lepistö
• Research Dr. Minnamari Vippola and M.Sc. Mari
  Honkanen
• Support Lic.Tech. Jaakko Keränen, M.Sc. Jussi
  Laurila and Dr. Jyrki Vuorinen
• Research objectives in IMS
• Characterization of microstructures of Cu,
  Cu-alloys, Fe, Fe-Cr-alloys and Zn-based
  metallized thin films and their oxide structures
  and interface reactions between the metal and
  metal oxides in order to verify the structural
  features, phases and chemical composition and
  their effect on oxidation phenomenon.
• Oxidation kinetics studies of metal alloys and
  metallized thin films with thermogravimetry and
  differential scanning calorimetry measurements in
  order to study the oxidation properties as a
  function of temperature and environment.
