DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF AN OPTICAL GONIOMETER

Optical Goniometer is a tool to measure the wettability of liquid by measuring the contact angle of the liquid droplet. Basically, wettability is the phenomenon of liquid spreading on a solid surface in which this phenomenon plays a crucial role in many applications. This project touches upon the de...
