The importance of carbon material surface wettability analysis is becoming increasingly prominent. It can effectively guide carbon material design and process improvement, thereby improving the comprehensive performance of materials in specific applications, and at the same time provide an accurate basis for whether the surface modification of carbon materials is effective.

Does surface wettability affect the application of carbon materials?

The importance of carbon material surface wettability analysis is becoming increasingly prominent. It can effectively guide carbon material design and process improvement, thereby improving the comprehensive performance of materials in specific applications, and at the same time provide an accurate basis for whether the surface modification of carbon materials is effective.

The surface wettability of carbon materials can be determined by two parameters: surface tension and surface contact angle.

Contact Angle Meter Principle

The contact angle meter uses the principle of optical projection to accurately collect and analyze the contours of the gas-liquid-solid three-phase interface. It is a precision device specifically designed for measuring the wettability of material surfaces.

The contact angle meter can effectively avoid human errors, has high measurement accuracy, and can be accurate to 0.1°. It can adapt to the surface measurement of carbon materials of different shapes and sizes, such as graphene sheets, carbon fibers, activated carbon, carbon nanotubes, etc.

Through contact angle measurement analysis, we can better understand and analyze the surface properties of carbon materials, thereby optimizing their application effects in different fields.

SDC-200S Scientific Contact Angle Meter has a comprehensive, complete and accurate fitting measurement method. It can accurately measure the surface hydrophilicity, dynamic/static contact angle, surface energy, surface and interfacial tension of carbon materials, and evaluate the distribution of polarity and non-polarity of materials.
