Analysis of liquids and viscoelestic films by quartz crystal microbalance

In this paper we present a very new technique for analytical methods which utilize the quartz crystal microbalance (QCM). This is rapid expansion in application and understanding-oriented work. Using the QCM in the liquid phase and applying it to non-rigid over layers have created new experimental opportunities. In research, the most common QCM crystal applications include metal deposition monitors, chemical reaction monitors, biomedical sensors, and environmental monitoring applications.
