Zeta Potential Measurements in Polymer Research Webinar
Colleagues at Surface Ventures would like to welcome community members to join them on their next webinar. Zeta Potential Measurements in Polymer Research Dr Astrid Drechsler (Leibniz-Institut fur Polymerforschung Dresden e.V. Thursday 28 July 2022 1.00pm BST In many applications of polymer materials, as e.g. coatings, composites or as smart surfaces, the material properties or the adhesion to other substances are determined to a great amount by functional groups situated at the very surface. While contact angle measurements can reveal the polarity of a surface, the zeta potential (the electrical potential of a solid in contact to an aqueous solution) gives valuable information about its acid-base behaviour resulting from charged functional groups, the adsorption of ions and molecules…
