The parameters that are being measured in quality control of paper and board may differ for several reasons; what applications the paper is made for, available instrumentation, traditions etc. If you haven’t thought about measuring wettability and adhesion properties of your paper, here are 6 reasons to start doing so.
Wettability is important in various pharmaceutical process steps from the manufacturing of solid dosage forms to their disintegration and dissolution
Calendering, a common compaction process for Li-ion batteries, will significantly impact the pore structure and thus also the wettability of the electrode.
The wettability of different parts of Li-ion batteries is a key issue in terms of manufacturing, performance, and safety of the batteries.
Hydrophilic surface properties are needed in many different applications ranging from biomedical devices to marine engineering.
The effect of Surface roughness and wettability on biocompatibility of biomaterials and Medical devices.
Laser texturing has gained a lot of interest s due to its superior texturing accuracy, good controllability, and suitability for various materials.
The good lubricity is needed as the poorly lubricated catheters can cause trauma as a result of high frictional forces between the biomaterial and tissue.
To better describe the real surfaces, different wetting states have been proposed. The most discussed are Wenzel state and Cassie-Baxter state.
Interactions at the material surface is influenced by the wettability of the material. Wettability measurements are done to evaluate biocompatibility.
