Emulsion instability mechanisms include; creaming, sedimentation, flocculation, coalescence, and Oswaltd ripening
Read about why it is important for the mass distribution on the QCM sensor to be even, and what the consequences are if it is not.
The term surfactant comes from the word surface active agent. At the interface, they align themselves so that the hydrophobic part is in the air and the hydrophilic part is in water. This will cause a decrease in surface or interfacial tensions.
Learn more about the Sauerbrey equation and when it should be used.
Read about how QSense QCM-D was used to study the adsorption kinetics of different cell types
This blog post describes the importance of fiber diameter on the contact angle measurements of fibers with Wilhelmy method
QSense PDMS sensor is designed for molecule-surface interaction analysis in for example biopharmaceutical development
Standard contact angle measurement considers the surface's chemical properties. The influence of surface roughness is added by utilizing the Wenzel equation.
