2025 NanoNews: Tensiometry Edition Q2

Welcome to the second quarter Tensiometry edition of the Nanoscience Instruments newsletter, nanoNews. We are excited to share the latest updates from around the Tensiometry community with you!

In this newsletter you will find recent Masterclasses, blogs, and white papers that expand on surface roughness in contact angle measurements, measuring dynamic contact angles, and emphasizing the key factors for choosing an Attension Optical or Force Tensiometer.

NEWS & UPDATES

Theta Flow Silicon Wafer System

In semiconductor production, surface properties can make or break critical processes like coating, lithography, and bonding. The Theta Wafer Stage was designed specifically for wettability measurements on standard wafers, enabling precise contact angle measurements to:

  • Predict coating and film adhesion
  • Optimize lithography and etching outcomes
  • Maintain quality control with routine measurements
  • Detect contaminants that could impact downstream processes

MASTERCLASSES

We recently finished hosting a series of Theta Optical Tensiometry demonstration masterclasses. This series will focus on different techniques, like tilting or roughness corrected contact angle measurements. We hope this series will inspire current and potential Theta tensiometry users to expand their measurement arsenal and gain the knowledge necessary to apply these techniques confidently.

Session 1: Dynamic Contact Angle Measurements with Tilting Cradle – ON DEMAND

Session 2: Roughness Corrected Contact Angle – ON DEMAND

Session 3: Contact Angles at the Picoliter Scale – ON DEMAND

Session 4: Dynamic Contact Angle Measurements with a Tilting Stage – ON DEMAND

Session 5: Captive Bubble and Interfacial Tension Measurements – ON DEMAND

Session 6: Dilatational Interfacial Rheology – ON DEMAND

CONFERENCE CORNER

ACS Fall 2025 | August 18-20, 2025 | Washington, DC

Meet us in Booth #2719 at the American Chemical Society’s Fall Meeting!  Stop by for a live electrospinning demo with the Fluidnatek LE-50 G2, our compact and powerful benchtop unit. We will also have a QSense Omni and an Attension Theta Flow for hands-on exploration of the instruments and their powerful software!

SERVICE & SUPPORT

Are you interested in upgrading your Attension Optical Tensiometer’s dispenser to add automated dispensing of more than 2 liquids?

Whether you have several coating formulations to test on a surface material or you would like to fully automate surface free energy (SFE) measurements, the new Attension dispensers provide greater flexibility by allowing the use of up to 4 different liquids.

These new dispensers are compatible with existing Theta Flow, Flex, and Lite systems, with different adapters depending on your current instrument configuration.

To discover the upgrade path for your instrument, please reach out to our Application Support/Service Team by using the link below:

*Note: In light of the launch of the new dispensers, we are committed to continuing Service and Support for existing Theta customers. From the date of launch, full service for legacy Theta dispensers will continue for 5 years, concluding on June 19, 2029. If you have questions about whether this applies to your instrument, please reach out to us at info@nanoscience.com.
