How QCM-D and contact angle can be used to study why some surfactants work better than others

Which processes at the molecular level make a cleaner work? Why are some surfactants effective at cleaning but not others?

The webinar aims to give a short introduction to cleaning from a physicochemical perspective, with the ambition to discuss why certain ingredients and ingredient combinations have such different effects. The intention is not to present a deep understanding but rather to introduce these effects to a general audience and how these effects can be studied.
 
This webinar will be a mixture of fundamental understanding and examples from real industry applications in which QCM-D and contact angle has been used for evaluation.
