Abstract: A method and apparatus for determining planar impedance tomography of a sample comprising a measurement head unit comprising an impedance sensor; a three-axis actuator assembly, coupled to the measurement head unit, for positioning the impedance sensor relative to a sample; a controller, coupled to the three-axis actuator assembly, for controlling the three-axis actuator assembly to position the impedance sensor at a plurality of locations relative to the sample; and an impedance analyzer, coupled to the impedance sensor, for determining an impedance value at each location in the plurality of locations.

Abstract: Methods and systems for modifying a polymer are disclosed herein. A matrix is generally provided having a surface thereof, wherein the matrix comprises a plurality of hyperbranched polymers. The plurality of hyperbranched polymers can be chemically bound to a plurality of surfactants or order to modify the surface and produce a polymeric material thereof. The surface is tailored with a plurality of functional groups that self-assemble and are deliverable to the surface of the solution, including interfaces thereof, thereby permitting a high-density assembly of functional groups to operate in concert with one another in order to generate a modified surface thereof. The polymeric material produced thereof can be reversibly adaptable to environmental conditions through a blooming of varying surface functional group to the surface of the solution.
