Whether in technological applications, biology or medicine, successfully developing new materials requires detailed knowledge of their surface properties. Surface chemistry often determines if a product is suitable for the intended application. An appropriate treatment is often necessary to tune the surface properties to fulfil the application requirements. However, the decreasing time available for such development processes demands a meaningful and rapid analysis of the solid surface, preferably close to the real conditions of the material application.
