A group of researchers have provided a standardized approach to improve the accuracy and reliability of contact angle measurements of surfaces. Knowing how surface materials interact with liquids ...

Seminar content includes the relationships between wetting, contact angle and surface free energy (SFE), as well as the influence of polar and dispersive SFE components on wetting and adhesion. You ...

of energy. We have come to call the overall ... the entrance and exit angles are less acute; the contact surface pressure is directed less forward and more downward; the length of contact time ...

The seminars focus on providing, not just the underlying theory but, hands on, practical training for a variety of surface science techniques used throughout industry and academia. The sessions will ...

They can be found ... Superhydrophobic surfaces, characterized by their ability to repel water with a contact angle above 150° and a sliding angle below 10°, offer a range of applications from ...

It clings to the surface and flattens out like a pancake ... To find out what's going on with our leaf, we need to measure its contact angle. Janine put a tiny drop of water on the leaf.
