At Anderson Materials Evaluation, we specialize in contact angle measurements to assess surface wettability and surface energy. These analyses are crucial for a wide range of applications, from ensuring proper adhesion in coatings and adhesives to verifying the cleanliness and treatment effectiveness of surfaces.
This is a summary of our capabilities and test methods. For a more in depth summary, please check out our page “Contact Angle Measurements – An In Depth Look“.
Our contact angle measurements provide detailed insights into the liquid-solid interface. By placing a small droplet of liquid on a surface and analyzing the resulting contact angle, we can determine the surface’s wettability and energy properties. This information is essential for optimizing material performance and ensuring successful application in various industries.
Using different liquids such as water, ethylene glycol, and diiodomethane, we measure both polar and dispersive surface tension values. This comprehensive evaluation helps in:
Our advanced equipment captures the interaction between liquid droplets and surfaces at 60 frames per second, allowing us to monitor dynamic changes in surface properties over time. This capability is vital for understanding how materials behave under different conditions and over extended periods.
The surface energy of materials directly impacts the performance of adhesives and coatings. Our contact angle measurements help manufacturers select the best materials and processes to achieve optimal adhesion and durability.
Surface treatments like corona treatment or plasma treatment can significantly alter surface properties. By measuring contact angles before and after treatment, we ensure that the desired modifications have been successfully implemented.
In industries where surface cleanliness is critical, such as semiconductor manufacturing or biomedical device production, our contact angle measurements provide a reliable test for verifying that surfaces are free from contaminants.
We use a high-precision syringe to apply liquid droplets, and a close-up camera captures detailed images. These images are analyzed using sophisticated software to calculate contact angles with high accuracy.
