Abstract
Ion-beam analysis has been applied to a variety of problems involving diffusion in heterogeneous materials. An energy loss technique has bee n used to study both the diffusion of water and the surface segregatio n of fluoropolymers in polymeric matrices. A scanning micro-beam techn ique has been developed to allow water concentrations in hydrophilic p olymers and cements to be measured together with associated solute ele ments. It has also been applied to the diffusion of shampoo into hair. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
