Why sensors and filtration systems require advanced materials
Sensor systems, adsorption materials and filtration technologies depend on surface properties that can selectively interact with target molecules, maintain stability under operating conditions and provide reliable performance. Conventional materials often face limitations in selectivity, capacity or durability. Quasicrystalline materials present an alternative with unique surface characteristics.
