General information
- Investigation area
- TechniquesDrop Shape Profilometry
- ManufacturerDataphysics
- Fabrication year2015
- Measured quantitySurface tension, contact angle, interfacial dilatational elasticity
- Main applicationDynamic tensiometry, drop shape profilometry, interfacial dilatational rheology
Instrument specification
- Technical aspects
The device automatically analyses the shapes of hanging (pendant) or sessile droplets to determine surface tension or contact angle, respectively. Additionally, the device is equipped with a piezo unit that oscillates the droplet volume. This enables investigation of dilatational viscoelastic properties of the interface
