Novel film-calliper method of measuring the contact angle of colloidal particles at liquid interfaces.
A simple and reliable film-calliper method of measuring the particle contact angle at the water-air (oil) interface in real time has been developed. Its applicability to submicrometer and micrometer latex and silica particles is demonstrated.
