Get to know the Institute of Physical Chemistry,
Polish Academy of Sciences
The Institute of Physical Chemistry of the Polish Academy of Sciences (IPC PAS) in Warsaw is one of the best Polish scientific units dealing with chemistry in the broadest sense of the word and in its category it is ranked among the highest in the rankings of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education.
The Institute was established on 19 March 1955 as the first chemical institute of the Polish Academy of Sciences.
At present, the IPC is strongly connected with the latest world directions of physical chemistry and chemical physics development.
The entity has the right to confer the academic degree of doctor and doctor habilitated in chemistry. We employ over 200 researchers, including 20 with the title of professor.

- Abstract:
Optical nanoscopy techniques allow the detection, observation and study of nanometric dimensions which is very useful in metrology and the characterisation of materials. In this talk I will first describe some of the basic principles of label-free optical nanoscopy and some of the different techniques, looking at the difference between nano detection and super-resolution. Then I will describe the more specific technique of interference microscopy which while being better known for surface roughness measurement, can also be used in real-time measurements, tomography and spectroscopy. The latter part will then concern some of our latest work in the development of a new local spectroscopy technique and of different environmental chamber systems for measuring specific material properties such as the creep compliance of nanometrically thin polymer films ("nanobubble" method), polymer droplet evaporation (the famous "coffee stain" problem) and adsorption of chemical species in colloidal layers (immersion system).
