Why is Contact Angle Measurement Important in Nanotechnology?
In nanotechnology, the properties of materials can differ significantly from their bulk counterparts due to the increased surface area to volume ratio. Understanding the wettability of nanostructured surfaces is essential for applications such as self-cleaning coatings, biosensors, drug delivery systems, and nanofluidics. Contact angle measurements provide insights into surface energy, adhesion, and interactions between nanomaterials and liquids.
