Overview

Optical contact angle measurement
The optical analysis of drops that hang from a dosing needle or are placed on a solid surface facilitates the determination of different surface and interfacial parameters. The contact angle that a liquid drop establishes on a solid surface characterises the solid’s wetting behaviour with said liquid.

Application notes

One-click surface energy determination with pressure-based double dosing system DDS-P for the OCA series
The pressure-based double dosing system DDS-P in combination with the optical contact angle measuring and contour analysis system OCA and its corresponding software from DataPhysics Instruments, enables the determination of the surface energy of a solid with one click.
