This facility is a joint collaborative venture with KRÜSS GmbH. The facility maintains a high-end KRÜSS instrument for characterizing surfaces and interfaces: a DSA100 Drop Shape Analyzer for measurement of contact angle and surface energy with temperature and humidity control. Newly added was an SVM3001 viscometer & density meter and an Abbemat 550 refractometer (Anton-Paar). The lab is adminsitratively managed as part of the MPML.
