Using Attension Tensiometers to Evaluate Wettability of Fibers and Other Thin Objects

Fiber wettability is crucial across industries, from carbon fibers in polymers to hair in cosmetics, influencing product development and performance. In the biomedical field, devices like catheters and stents require precise wettability measurements due to their narrow dimensions. Explore how Attension® Tensiometers can enhance your understanding of these critical interactions.

In this white paper, you will learn more about:

  • Measurement Techniques - Explore the sessile drop method, Wilhelmy plate, and meniscus method tailored for fibers and thin objects.
  • Contact Angle Analysis - Learn how contact angles reveal surface energy, adhesion properties, and interaction forces.
  • Practical Examples - Understand the application of these techniques on materials like metal rods, glass fibers, and more.
