Myths and Mysteries of Measuring Dynes, Surface Free Energy & Contact Angle

Since plasma and flame surface treatment create no visible changes to a surface, methodologies have been developed to measure the changes to a surface after treatment. These diagnostics are quite valuable, but they are often conducted with flawed testing practices and the results are frequently misunderstood.

In this webinar, Wilson Lee (Enercon) & Dr. Thomas Willers (KRÜSS) will delve deep into the myths and mysteries of measuring surface energy.

Topics include:

• Similarities & differences of dynes, surface free energy & contact angle

• Best practices for measuring dynes & contact angle

• What your results really mean

• Why relative values trump absolute values

• New automated technologies for testing consistency

• An all-new method for measuring recently receded contact angle (Stood-up Drop)
