The thickness of gold dendritic nanoforests increases linearly within 15 min of a synthesis reaction. Engineering A High Performance Impedance-based Platform for Evaporation Rate Detection Wei-Lung Chou1, Pee-Yew Lee2, Cheng-You Chen2, Yu-Hsin Lin3, Yung-Sheng Lin4 1Department of Safety, Health and Environmental Engineering, Hungkuang University, 2Institute of Materials Engineering, National Taiwan Ocean University, 3Instrument Technology Research Center, National Applied Research Laboratories, 4Department of Chemical Engineering, National United University This paper presents an impedance-based apparatus for evaporation rate detection of solutions. It offers clear advantages over a conventional weight loss approach: a fast response, high-sensitivity detection, a small sample requirement, multiple sample measurements, and easy disassembly for cleaning and reuse purposes.
