At the TITK, investigations can be carried out on the wetting behaviour of surfaces, the determination of contact angle, roll-off angle, polar and disperse components of the surface energy as well as other characteristic features of interfaces and surfaces.
The following measurement options are available:
- Measurement on hanging drop (pendant drop)
- Measurement on a sitting drop (sessile drop)
- Measurement on curved surfaces (roll-off angle)
- Measurements under inert gas atmosphere are possible
The following contact angle measuring device is available
- Measuring device: DSA100 (Krüss)
- PC-controlled single and multi-dosing system (4 different test liquids)
- Special liquids possible
- Integrated camera (up to 360 images/s)
- Peltier temperature chamber (-30 °C to 160 °C)
- Inert gas connection
- Tilting table
