Dissertation in Chemistry (PhD) Title: "An EQCM for investigations on conducting polymers" - Design and construction of a quartz crystal micro-balance. The software was written by myself in C. The instrument was able to put an electrical signal (e.g. DC voltage ramp up and down) and measure up to 100 measurements per second (simultaneously of mass changes down to a few nano-grams and current signals of an electrochemical electrode on a piezo-crystal in an electrolyte) - Investigations of ion-exchange properties in polypyrrole and the metal deposition processes during electrochemical deposition and dissolution |
| 1988-1989 |
Master Thesis (Diplomarbeit)
in physical chemistry /electrochemistry Title: "Cyclo-voltammetric investigations on the Al (Pt)- electrode in melts of Al-organic complex salts" The main subject was the investigation of complex reaction mechanism during the electrochemical deposition and dissolution of Al out of metal organic electrolytes. |
