Here we will list 9 things that could affect the stability of your QCM-D baseline, and give advice on how to address them if you are experiencing drift.
Superhydrophobic surface is defined by having the static water contact angle above 150 ° and contact angle hysteresis less than 5 °.
Surface free energy can be calculated through contact angle measurements. Automated instruments are available.
Here we explain the reasoning behind the uniformity requirement and describe the consequences if it is not fulfilled.
Striving towards a more sustainable energy system, surface properties, surface interactions and reactions taking place at surfaces, have important roles to play.
Plasma treatment is an often-used process prior to coating, printing or gluing to improve the wettability of the material.

What makes an implant integrate successfully? The answer lies at the surface interaction processes, and what happens there, short term and long term.
There are three contact angle measurement methods for superhydrophobic surfaces; static, advancing/receding and roll-off angle.
