µCT‐Based Topography Analysis of Inaccessible Surfaces Exemplified by a Biofouling‐Covered Plastic

The measurement of surface topographies is usually restricted to surfaces that are directly accessible tactile or optical sensing. With this paper, the application micro-computed tomography measure characteristics covered by solid films and thus not demonstrated. method first validated comparative measurements a plastic sample with µCT conventional profilometry. Afterwards, µCT-based successfully applied polyhydroxybutyrate biofouling after exposure marine environment, providing insight into degradation processes.
