Contact angle measurement system, contact angle, wettability, acrylicAbstract
In this study, a new and cost-effective contact angle measurement system has been developed. As direct application of this easy-to-use measuring system, the wettability behavior of acrylic polymers was analyzed by dropping a saline solution of 2.4 M on acrylic materials, where contact angle measurements were made.
