Infrared (IR) MicroSpectroscopy is a quantitative analytical probe extensively applied to soft condensed matter because of its high molecular sensitivity and specificity.
Fourier Transform IR (FTIR) technique is extremely effective in revealing optically-active vibrational modes of molecules, or *IR fingerprinting* molecular groups, at the microscopic scale. The combination of microFTIR...

Radiotherapy plays a key role in the treatment of cancer. The main limitation is to reach curative doses in the tumour while sparing the surrounding healthy tissue. One strategy to improve the clinical outcome in radiotherapy is to increase the dose effects in the tumour. This can be achieved by using specific nanoparticles (NPs). Numerous studies have shown the enhanced effectiveness of...

Skin delivery is a challenge due to the strong barrier function of this tissue. Bicosomes are phospholipid systems formed by spherical vesicles and discoidal structures able to modulate skin barrier [1]. In this work the penetration into skin of a model molecule incorporated in bicosomes via Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) using synchrotron radiation was studied.
This...

Traceability in cured ham process is a difficult task. In this study, we used Synchrotron XAS analysis to direct determination of Fe and Zn species in ham muscle and Zn species in visible fat (intramuscular fat) of Iberian dry-cured ham, IDCH.
Ham samples were obtained from certified IDCH from south of Spain at different curing time ranging from three to forty months. XAS spectra obtained at...

Controlling nanostructure formation in polymeric materials is a key aspect for the development of several applications in nanotechnology, such as organic photovoltaic cells or non volatile memories. Current synchrotron radiation sources with high flux, high energy resolution, energy tunability, and small beam size provide some of the most appropriate tools to characterize them and understand...
