Surfactants, CMC, Emulsions and Foams

Emulsions that separate, foams that collapse, frac fluids that underperform and aged transformer oil all show up first at the interface. Pendant drop surface and interfacial tension, read across a concentration series or over time, find the CMC and rank formulations before long stability trials. Used in personal care, pharmaceuticals, oil and gas, and power utilities.

Use cases showing how surface tension, contact angle, and surface energy measurement predict and control CMC, emulsion stability, and foam behavior earlier than a full stability or foam trial.
