We offer a selection of application notes, which contain information about exemplary applications of our measurement instruments. For a much broader selection of literature about interfacial chemistry please refer to our literature list.
Application note
Finding a reliable source of complementary knowledge may be key to the success of your projects. However, an individual cannot be expected to have all relevant application information at his/her fingertips. Hence, DataPhysics Instruments provides a selection of popular colloid and surface science literature. Moreover, we offer a substantial list of surface tensions of liquids and surface energies of solids as downloadable PDF.
