Spin coating is one of the most used thin-film coating technique and for this reason, any new technique is typically compared to it.
Here we present a summary of how protein adsorption to a silicone oil/water interface was analyzed in the presence and absence of surfactant.
Adhesion is the attraction between two dissimilar phases. It is commonly divided into mechanical interlocking and physical and chemical bonding.
Surfactants are key components in many products and processes where the surfactant-surface interaction dynamic could be critical. Here we show how the surfactant interaction with surfaces can be analyzed in a time-resolved manner at the nanoscale.
Using so-called smart water flooding has increased interest in both sandstone and carbonate reservoirs due to its low cost and minimum impact on the environment.
Here we list 10 methods that can be used to characterize the nanoparticle chemical composition.
More and more research interest is being put on functional coatings. New measurement techniques are required to evaluate them.
The traditional way of assessing etching properties can be time-consuming. But there are faster ways. Here we present a method that will help you assess the etching effects in one single wash cycle and in less than an hour.
Coatings are typically evaluated by methods such as laboratory drawdown. Contact angle measurement can provide a more quantitative approach.
