Choosing a Corrosion Prevention Compound Surface Science Helping to Preserve Aeronautical Equipment
Corrosion prevention compounds (commonly referred to as CPC’s) are low viscosity, oily liquids commonly sprayed onto metal structures to slow corrosion. They are designed to prevent water, and therefore the reactions which it facilitates, from getting to metal surfaces in large quantities. CPC’s have a variety of chemistries, and on boldly exposed and freshly produced surfaces they are largely effective.
Effect of drop volume on static contact angles
Measurement of contact angles of sessile drops deposited on surfaces is a powerful analysis tool that is widely used in several industry sectors, from cosmetics to semiconductors, coatings and food industry, wettability studies, surface treatments control, adhesion performance prediction, etc.
