To complete our installed base of equipment in terms of surface characterization, the laboratory has been equipped with a DSA30 Drop Shape Analyzer.
The equipment is a characterization tool for materials and surfaces that can be used flexibly for the precise measurement of contact angles and surface energy. The equipment enables the analysis of wettability and adhesion on solid surfaces.
In addition to measuring the contact angle, our equipment can also measure the surface tension of liquid susing the sessile drop method.The polar and dispersive components of surface energies and surface tensions can also be determined. The adhesion effect between a liquid and a solid is then easily deduced from these components. The measurements thus provide scientific information on the relationship between the wettability of the solid and the properties of the liquid. This measurement method, for example, can be used to measure and optimize the long-term adhesion and stability of coatings.
