We are familiar with some interactions between solids and liquids in our daily lives because they can be observed. However, imagine being able to investigate the property dependence between liquid and solid interfaces. The possibilities could be endless.

The Hawker Lab lead by Dr. Morgan J. Hawker, assistant professor in chemistry, recently had a contact angle goniometer installed. The instrument measures how a liquid interacts with a solid material. The contact angle goniometer by KRÜSS uses an illumination source, a high-speed camera and ADVANCE software.
