A goniometer is used to measure contact angles.
Small drops of a liquid, often water, are placed on the surface of a sample. The angle between the drop and the sample is then measured.
Goniometers can be used to find the surface energy of a sample, or detect the presence of a self-assembled monolayer (SAM).
Manufacturer: AST Products
Model: VCA Optima
Instrument Type: Goniometer
Description: Used to measure the contact angle of various liquids with a sample surface for surface energy analysis. Applications include evaluation of surface cleanliness, wetting behavior, bond quality, adhesion, absorption, surface treatments and coatings.
Key Features: Static contact angle analysis, motorized syringe for advancing and receding contact angle analysis, dynamic capture for high speed image capture, pendant drop analysis, and surface energy analysis.
Materials Restrictions: Sample must be less than 8L x 8W x 8H cm.
