Information Regarding Surface Modifiers

Click For Summary
Research on flows in capillary tubes with wetting discontinuities is seeking information on coatings that create these effects. The 3M coating "FC-723" was initially mentioned, but it is no longer produced. A similar coating, "EGC-1702," has been identified as a potential alternative. The goal is to compile a table detailing various coatings and their corresponding contact angles for water drops. Additional insights or resources on these coatings would be appreciated.

Hi everyone,

I am doing research on flows in capillary tubes with wetting discontinuities, and I am needing to find some information on coatings that can produce these wetting discontinuities. I have come across some papers that mention a 3M coating "FC-723", and I was wondering if anyone knew of details regarding this coating, or if anyone knew where I could find information on other, similar coatings. In the end, I would ideally like to have a table with several different coatings, and, for example, the contact angle of a water drop that is placed on a surface which has these coatings. Thanks in advance!

*edit* this might be better off in the chemical engineering forum, but since I'm a ME, I figured i'd try here first. :)

Well, it has come to my attention that this chemical FC-723 is no longer produced, but that there is a similar chemical, EGC-1702. Anyone have any information?
 

Thread 'UV filter for home central heating?'

Had my central air system checked when it sortta wasn't working. I guess I hadn't replaced the filter. Guy suggested I might want to get a UV filter accessory. He said it would "kill bugs and particulates". I know UV can kill the former, not sure how he thinks it's gonna murder the latter. Now I'm finding out there's more than one type of UV filter: one for the air flow and one for the coil. He was suggesting we might get one for the air flow, but now we'll have to change the bulb...
