Work Shop
Step into a new level in coating and surface
development:
Topography combined with Optical Tensiometer
10th June 2014. CSIC. Instituto Ciencia y Tecnología de Polímeros. Madrid
Scope
Many surface modification and coating technologies that are used
for optimizing wetting and adhesion properties influence both
surface chemistry and roughness.
Understanding the mechanisms that impact wetting by separating
these two factors can be a useful tool in product development
processes and in quality control.
Roughness correction on contact angles also enables the
calculation of fundamental surface free energy on rough surfaces.
The 3D topography module can be used for studying micro scale
roughness, which is relevant in many applications and processes.
The Work Shop will give also the opportunity to exchange
experiences and present applications of tensiometry over a broad
range of research topics.
