A spreading coefficient is a measure of the wetting behavior of a liquid on a solid surface.
When measuring contact angles or making surface tension measurements with a pendant drop, selecting the correct tip or needle for your liquid is crucial.
The surface tension of water is about 72 mN/m at room temperature which is one of the highest surface tension for liquid.
Surfactants are utilized in numerous products from cleaning formulations to paints and pesticides.
Wettability is important in various pharmaceutical process steps from the manufacturing of solid dosage forms to their disintegration and dissolution
Surface tension is a quantitative measure that can be correlated with a solution’s ability to remove dirt.
The earliest known reference to contact angle measurement was made by Thomas Young in 1805.
LB films offer various opportunities for the creation of biosensors.
Chemical etching of fluoropolymers is a process used to selectively remove material from the surface using chemical solutions to improve wettability.
