Fiber contact angles can be measured with several different methods
Characterization of superhydrophilic surfaces is commonly done with contact angle measurements.
Contact angle provides insights into the wettability and adhesion properties of cosmetic ingredients and formulations.
Contact angles on small areas can be easily measured.
Dispensing low surface tension liquids sets requirements for the tip material
One of the major factors limiting the analysis of contact angles is the accurate assignment of the baseline.
The earliest known reference to contact angle measurement was made by Thomas Young in 1805.
Chemical etching of fluoropolymers is a process used to selectively remove material from the surface using chemical solutions to improve wettability.
This difference in wettability is key in determining how each membrane is used.
