With increasing understanding of the superhydrophobicity, the measurement methods to quantify the degree of hydrophobicity deserve some thought.
Calculate critical surface tension or surface free energy for a solid by testing against a series of liquids and measuring the contact angles.
This video will explain two main methods for measuring dynamic contact angle.
The non-wetting surfaces have experienced an enormous boost of interest after the observation of superhydrophobicity and self-cleaning effect in natural lotus leaves.
Surface tension of inkjet inks and the wettability of the printing substrate are important factors influencing the final printing quality.
Wood-plastic composites are relatively new materials as they started to emerge at the beginning of the 90’s. The most widespread use of WCPs is in outdoor decking but it is also used in railings and siding as well as park benches and indoor furniture.
