When the solid surface is contaminated with organic materials, water droplet will form a larger contact angle. The contact angle is sensitive enough to show different results even with a small amount of contamination such as mono-layer orders. That’s why contact angle is used for evaluating cleanness of solid surface.
Learn MoreA Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) film is a monolayer [i.e., a layer having single molecular thickness] or a set of monolayers of organic materials, deposited from the surface of a liquid onto a solid by immersing or emerging the solid substrate into or from the liquid. The monolayers are assembled vertically and are usually composed of amphiphilic molecules with a hydrophilic or polar head and a hydrophobic or non-polar tail.
In present-day thin film studies, Spin Coating Systems are an indispensable tool for fabricating thin films on a suitable substrate. The Spin Coating Technique has an immense role in the field of lithography and many other fields associated with Thin Film Fabrication & Characterization.
Dip coating is the process of immersing a substrate into a tank containing coating material, removing the piece from the tank, and allowing it to drain. The coated piece can then be dried by force-drying or baking. It is a popular way of creating thin film coated materials along with the spin coating procedure.
