Surface Energy Analysis
Carbon Nexus’ Surface Energy Analyser (SEA) has the ability to evaluate surface energy and wettability of a fibre.
The SEA is an inverse gas chromatography system that determines fibre surface properties by injecting vapour pulses into a column packed with the sample being examined. These vapour pulses elute through the column and the retention time is measured by a flame ionisation detector.
Varying the vapour probe molecule, flow rate, temperature, or column conditions elucidates a wide range of surface and bulk properties of the sample.
Capabilities:
- Dispersive and polar surface energy measurements
- Acid/base interactions
- Micropore and mesopore distributions
- Surface energy heterogeneity mappin
