Surfaces are all around us. To control the macroscale we need to understand and tune the nanoscale. To our aid, we use analytical tools, such as QCM-D
With increasing understanding of the superhydrophobicity, the measurement methods to quantify the degree of hydrophobicity deserve some thought.
QCM-D (Quartz Crystal Microbalance with Dissipation monitoring) is an extended version of QCM, and is particularly suitable for the characterization of soft layers.
Quartz Crystal Microbalance, or QCM, is essentially a balance for very small masses which enables time-resolved characterization of thin and rigid layers.
