Determination of nanogram mass and measurement of polymer solution free volume using thickness-shear mode (tsm) quartz resonators

More commonly referred to as a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM), thickness-shear mode (TSM) quartz resonator devices utilize an acoustic wave to establish a bulk-detection mechanism prompting their utilization as gravimetric sensors with nanogram mass sensitivity and capability to measure various f...
