Setup for wetting tests by sessile drop method

Sessile Drop Scheme
  • In situ studies of wetting behavior of a molten drop on a solid substrate using digital video
  • Contact angle measurements
  • Determination of surface tension and density for liquids on non-wettable substrates
  • Studies of reactivity and phase formation at liquid/solid interfaces

Technical characteristics:

  • Temperature up to 1250 °C
  • Molybdenum wire heater
  • Sample environment: vacuum of ~10-5 mbar or inert gas atmosphere (Ar)
