tor y of the company

The company DataPhysics Instru-

ments GmbH was founded in
1997 in Filderstadt near Stuttgart,
Germany, by specialists with many
years of experience in surface
chemistry. Since then our scien-
tists and engineers have been
developing in close coopera-
tion with customers throughout
the world, including science and
research institutes, new measur-
ing instruments and systems for
investigating the processes of sur-
face chemistry in laboratory and
process applications. Our primary
objective is to translate the power
of innovation into the advance-
ment of measurement and inter-
facial engineering and to develop
superior products for demanding

Video -based measuring with method and precision
In most diverse engineering appli-
cations the ability of liquids to wet
solids affects the quality of the
products and their manufacturing
processes. Important examples for
this are the production and appli-
cation of paints and varnishes, the
development and optimization of
composite materials, the use of
adhesives and suitable solvents for
engineering materials, and the bio-
State-of-the-art optics, high-pre-
cise mechanics, fast electronic con-
trollers, and high-resolution video
cameras guarantee all users of the
DataPhysics instruments the right

After all, our development engi-
neers profit from more than two
decades of practical experience in

In close cooperation with cus-
tomers, research institutes, and
universities we have developed
a wide range of special-purpose
extensions to the OCA instru-
ments, to broaden the range of
surface chemistry applications in
laboratory and process applica-
tions.

interface. In the ensuing response
time the surface and interfacial
tensions can be measured and
their behavior investigated. Devel-
opments of synthetic eye and
lung fluids for medical purposes
have already profited from this
idea, and more innovative applica-
tions are expected in the field of
protein and surfactant engineer-
ing.
Oscillating drops
For the measurement of surface
elasticities and for relaxational
studies at phase boundaries,
DataPhysics has developed the
oscillating drop generator ODG 20
and the innovative oscillating drop
generator ODG 20P with a high
resolution pressure sensor.
This extension to the optical con-
tact angle measuring and drop
contour analysis systems of the
OCA series – based on a piezoelec-
tric transducer – excites oscillating
drops with a wide range of fre-
quencies and amplitudes. Periodic
variations in the drop volume, or
alternatively in the drop shape
with constant volume, can be per-
formed. The excitation frequency
ranges up to 50 Hz, depending on
the density and viscosity of the
fluid. The amplitude of the axis-
symmetric oscillations varies from
micrometers to millimeters. The
oscillating drops can be analyzed
by conventional drop contour
analysis and by the new approach
of pressure measurement with
the high-performance pressure
sensor (ODG 20P).
Together with the SCA 26 the
ODG 20 and ODG 20P offers the
following measurement and cal-
culation options:
• software controlled amplifier for
pre-defined waveforms (sinusoi-
dal, saw tooth, rectangular, tri-
angular or arbitrary),
• constant volume mode with
axis-symmetric drop shape oscil-
lations,
• relaxational mode following the
instant increase/decrease of the
drop volume.
• pressure measuring mode with
automatic drop volume tracking
and an increased accuracy and
resolution of the dilatational
modulus,
• analysis of the real and imagi-
nary part of the interfacial dila-
tational modulus based on the
oscillating or relaxing contour of
pendant drops.
• analysis of the relaxational
modulus.
High-speed camera systems
All OCA instruments can be
extended with the high-speed
image processing system
UpOCAH with up to 1000 images
per second.
The OCA 20, 35 and 40 can

ing of the dispensed drop on

Advanced instrumentation engineered
for classical and new measuring techniques
The wetting properties of com
mon solids can be measured with
electronic tensiometers which has
been evolved to dynamic contact
angle meters. The ease of use
in providing highly reproducible
results with these instruments
has been achieved by extensive
application of internal and exter-
nal computer control. Balance
based tensiometers of the DCAT
range provide a very high level of
automation in the determination
of wetting properties exhibited
by powders, fibers, and fabrics as
well as the thermodynamic prop-
SCAT 33 software module for measuring surfactant properties (CMC)
erties of surfactant solutions.
The spinning drop video ten-
siometer SVT 20N is a special
instrument for measuring high to
extremely low interfacial tensions.
It is featuring the optical technol-
ogy of the contact angle video-
based measuring instruments
from DataPhysics. In a compact
24
design, the SVT 20N is intended
to supersede the traditionally
manual operation of these tensi-
ometer systems.
With the additional feature of
video contour recognition and
evaluation technology, an impor-
tant contribution can now be
made to research in raw materi-
als for emulsions, encapsulated
drops, and tertiary oil recovery to
the advantage of product quality
and the preservation of the envi-
ronment.
Software for efficient work
The DCAT and SVT tensiometer
systems are delivered with an
intuitive PC software with many
graphical elements to assist you in
specifying both simple and com-
plex measurement procedures
and in collecting, assessing, and
evaluating measured data.
Selection of measuring bodies and accessories for the DCAT 11EC, DCAT 11, and DCAT 21
Specifically the SVTS software
package for the SVT 20N spinning
drop video tensiometer has prof-
ited from the wealth of precise
and reliable methods to evaluate
drop contours, e.g. the Young-
Laplace method with statistical
error analysis, which is also used
for the optical contact angle mea-
suring instruments of DataPhysics.

The dynamic contact angle mea-
suring devices and tensiometers
DCAT 11EC, DCAT 11, and DCAT 21
are based on the latest balance
technologies developed by the
company Sartorius AG, Germany.
The monolith balance systems
used by our instruments oper-
ate on the principle of electrody-
namic compensation to combine
the maximum precision with the
greatest possible stability.
The DCAT 21, DCAT 11, and
DCAT 11EC are fitted with 100 g
reference masses of class E2
(±0.15 mg) as specified under R111
of the OIML (International Orga-
nization of Legal Metrology). This
ensures that all tensiometer read-
ings comply with national and
international standards.

Dynamic contac t angle measuring
devices and tensiometers
Properties of the DCAT 11EC
The dynamic contact angle mea-
suring device and tensiometer
DCAT 11EC is the budget-priced
instrument for the weight-based
measurement of contact angle,
surface and interfacial tension,
critical micelle formation concen-
tration, density, sedimentation
and penetration rate, and adhe-
sion.
Features of the DCAT 11
The DCAT 11 is the standard instru-
ment for applications which
require a ten times improved
measurement precision compared
SCAT 32 — measuring
the contact angle
to the DCAT 11EC and an increased
travel speed range and travel reso-
lution for the sample table.
Advantages of the DCAT 21
The DCAT 21 is the all-purpose
dynamic contact angle measur-
ing device and tensiometer. It
offers a 30 mm longer travel for
the sample stage than the DCAT
11 and DCAT 11EC and allows
therefore the use of the optional
electrical temperature control
unit TEC 250/DCAT.
