BS EN 828:2013EN 828:2013 (E) 4 1 Scope This European Standard specifies a method for the determination of the surface free energy of a so
19、lid surface by measuring the contact angle of a liquid wetting the solid surface. It allows the prediction of the ability of a particular adhesive to wet a particular adherend. It can be used to characterise surfaces intended for pre-treatment, coating or bonding. NOTE 1 In order to determine the su
20、rface free energy, the method of measuring the static contact angle is used in combination with a statistical interpretation. NOTE 2 The measurement results are influenced by mechanical surface roughness and chemical homogeneity. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, a

22、 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in EN 923:2005+A1:2008 and the following apply. 3.1 triple point point where the solid, the liquid and the gas phases coincide with each other Note 1 to entry: The triple point can be identified in the silhouet
23、te of a liquid drop situated on a test piece, at the intersection of the drops contour line with the test piece surface. 3.2 baseline in the case of plane test pieces, a straight line going through the two triple points 3.3 contact angle angle to the baseline, formed by a tangent to the drop contour

The characteristic of the drop is the angle formed by the tangent to the contour at the triple point (wetting point) (Figure 1). A contac
26、t angle = 0 indicates a surface that is completely wetted 3.5 contour analysis image analysis procedure consisting in capturing the silhouette of a liquid drop on a surface by optical methods and calculating the contour profile of that silhouette 3.6 surface free energy of a solid Senergy measure (e
27、xpressed in mN/m) which characterises the wettability of a solid material by a liquid that is based on the adsorption theory. The forces present in the state of equilibrium are described by Youngs formula: S= SL+ L cos (1) The Young-Dupr formula defines the work of adhesion obtained during wetting:
28、Wad= L+ L cos = L (1 + cos ) (2) The position of the thermodynamic equilibrium resulting in the formation of the static contact angle depends on both the pressure and the temperature conditions. When carrying out the measurement, standard conditions should be maintained. Since the interfacial energy
29、 and the surface energy are based on interactive forces between atoms or molecules, it is necessary to take polarity into consideration when assessing the wettability. Examples for polar interactions are as follows: dipole-dipole interactions; hydrogen bridge bonds; acid-base interactions. BS EN 828
30、:2013EN 828:2013 (E) 6 The non-polar (disperse) interactions are commonly described as London interactions. In accordance with 1 and 2, the interfacial energy SLbetween a solid body (S for “solid“) and a liquid (L for “liquid“) is the sum of the surface tensions of the two phases (S+ L), reduced by
31、the disperse and the polar interactions at the phase border. These interactions are described as the doubled sum of the geometric mean values of the disperse (DLDS ) and the polar (PLPS ) tension components of the individual phases: SL= S+ L 2 ( DDSL+ PPsL) (3) Substitution SLfrom the Youngs formula
32、 (1) and rearrangement of formula (3) to the general form of a straight line y = mx + b (4) leads to the following formula: ( )1 cos2mbxy+= + PLL PDSSDDLL(5) The square of the slope is the polar proportion of the solid body surface energyPS , the square of the ordinate intercept b is the disperse pr
33、oportionDS . The sum of the two proportions is the total surface free energy of the solid body S. 4 Principle Ten drops each of at least three and up to eight known, different liquids are dosed onto a plane test piece surface. For each drop, the left and the right contact angles are measured. From t
34、he averaged contact angles of each liquid combined with its surface tension and its polar and disperse proportions, the surface free energy of the solid body is calculated, subdivided into the polar and the disperse proportions. Preferably, the liquids used should exhibit different polar and dispers
35、e proportions of the interfacial tension. Recommended liquids and their characteristic interfacial tensions are listed in Table 1. The drop volumes suitable for the measurement depend on the type of the liquid and should be adjusted such that the negative influence of gravity on the contact angle is
36、 kept to a minimum. 5 Test equipment 5.1 Solid surface to be assessed, substrate with pre-treated or untreated surface. 5.2 Contact-angle measuring system, any contact-angle measuring device, preferably systems comprising digital image acquisition and image analysis to comply with the current state

BS EN 828:2013EN 828:2013 (E) 8 7 Procedure 7.1 The contact-angle measuring device shall be adjusted horizontally by means of the level. 7.2 The contact-angle measuring device, the lighting and the image acquisition and analysis system are switched on. The image display is ad
42、justed to be sufficient with regard to brightness and contrast (the manufacturers information should be taken into consideration). The light source of the contact-angle measuring device shall be calibrated to obtain optimum contrast and grey scale value in the image of a drop and of a surface. The d
43、osing needle is moved to the upper edge of the image and the zoom of the contact-angle measuring device is set in a way that the contour width of the located drop covers two thirds of the width of the image. Afterwards the drop image shall be focussed. 7.3 The dosing system is filled with one of the
44、 selected liquids. It shall be ensured that any contaminations during filling are avoided. 7.4 A plane sample of the surface to be measured is placed on the sample carrier. The sample carrier shall be adjusted such that the sample surface is located in the lower half of the image and in a horizontal
45、 position. 7.5 The dosing needle is positioned approximately 1 mm above the sample surface. The drop shall be dosed such that its volume is between 2 l and 6 l, depending on the liquid selected. Recommended drop volumes are given in Table 2, depending on the liquid selected. Table 2 Recommended drop

In doing so, the drop volumes given in Table 2 and the dosing rate of 100 l/min shall n
47、ot be exceeded. 7.7 The baseline shall be adjusted such that it intersects the triple points of the drop. In order to facilitate locating the triple points, a top-view angle of maximally 2 may be set. The maximum deviation of the baseline from the horizontal (slope) shall not exceed 0,1. 7.8 The mea
48、surement shall be started immediately (max. 15 s) after the completion of dosing. Over the contact period, no reaction and no mutual material conversion between the test liquid and the surface to be measured shall take place. As an example, it is recommended to carry out one measurement every second
49、 over a period of 20 s. BS EN 828:2013EN 828:2013 (E) 9 7.9 Depending on how the individual liquid drops behave on different solid body surfaces, different algorithms shall be applied for the accurate determination of the contact angle (e.g. equation of a circle for contact angles 120). 7.10 Repeat sub-clauses 7.3 to 7.9 for a total ten drops of each liquid.
