Information Regarding Surface Modifiers

AI Thread 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 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...
