KRÜSS believes that interfacial chemistry has only begun to uncover its true potential. The surface of a material — what is seen and touched — is where materials interact with their environment and often represents their most vulnerable part. Even processes that seem to occur internally, such as emulsification or foam formation, are largely governed by surface interactions. Surface science should rightly be regarded as one of the most important fields of research.

Since KRÜSS began applying its expertise and engineering skills to instrument development, the importance of surface science has grown tremendously. The company is proud not only to have followed this trend but to have been a driving force behind it. Yet, KRÜSS views this as only the beginning. Its team of specialists is preparing for a future where interfacial analysis becomes a routine part of almost every R&D and quality control laboratory.
