WHAT IS DYNAMIC CONTACT ANGLE (DCA)?
When we talk about “Dynamic Contact Angle” (DCA), there are two quite different subjects that may be addressed:
– Time-Dependent Contact Angle (tDCA)
– Motion-Dependent Contact Angle (mDCA)
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQs) FOR MELT FLOW INDEXER (MFI)
How Does Melt Flow Indexer Works? It heats and compresses thermo-softening resin, then measures resin extrusion rate through an orifice, under carefully carefully controlled conditions such as..

What are Microplastics? A microplastic is a small piece of plastic that is <5 mm in size. Plastics that measure under 100 nm are regarded as nanoplastics. The presence of microplastics in the environment and our food chain is of growing concern. This has led to increased testing for the presence of microplastics in a…

Polymer characterization is important in developing new polymers as well as maintaining quality control in manufacturing processes. As such, many characterization techniques should ideally be linked to the desirable properties of the material, hence analytical techniques are typically used to determine molecular structure, molecular mass / chain length, thermal properties and mechanical properties.
