Top 10 Companies Operating in X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) is a technique, which is used to analyze the surface chemistry of a material. The XPS technique is also known as electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis (ESCA), which is a well-established method for the chemical characterization of material surfaces. The suppliers and manufacturers of both technical and commercial textiles are focusing on developing XPS as an ideal tool to support the optimization and development of the types of surface coating or treatment demanded by the consumers. Polymer meshes, such as polyester and polypropylene, are used for the surgical repair of hernias and other soft tissue defects.

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) is a quantitative spectroscopic technique that is used to measure the elemental composition, empirical formula, chemical state, and electronic state of the elements that exist within a given sample. The global X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy market is driven by factors such as increasing demand for high-performance materials and increasing funding by private bodies in R&D, but the shortage of skilled professionals is anticipated to restrain the market growth during the forecast period. However, development opportunities in emerging countries are likely to deliver substantial growth opportunities to improve market share for industry players in the near future.

Although there is the use of mesh materials in the surgery, their implantation can be associated with severe infection rates. In order to reduce the infection rates of such meshes, their surface properties have to be improved. Also, many problems associated with modern materials can be solved by understanding the chemical and physical interactions that occur at the interfaces of a material’s layers or surface. The surface will influence such factors as catalytic activity, corrosion rates, wettability, adhesive properties, contact potential, and failure mechanisms. Thus, the rising demand for high-performance materials proportionally upsurges the market for X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy in the forecast period.
