LIA-MD liquid injection system The relaxation properties of drops on the addition of a second liquid constituent can be studied LIA-MD liquid injection system on an OCA 20 with motorized y- and z-axis with the LIA-MD liquid injection system. In this case, a dose of a different surface-active or chemically reactive phase is added to an existing drop in a very short time. The primary drop must now 18 return to the equi­librium on its interface. In the ensuing response time the surface and interfacial tensions can be measured and their behavior investigated. Developments of synthetic eye and lung fluids for medical purposes have already profited from this idea, and more innovative applications are expected in the field of protein and surfactant engineering. Oscillating drops For the measurement of surface elasticities and for relaxational studies at phase boundaries, DataPhysics has developed the oscillating drop generator ODG 20 and the innovative oscillating drop generator ODG 20P with a high resolution pressure sensor. This extension to the optical contact angle measuring and drop contour analysis systems of the OCA series – based on a piezoelectric transducer – excites oscillating drops with a wide range of frequencies and amplitudes. Periodic variations in the drop volume, or alternatively in the drop shape with constant volume, can be performed. The excitation frequency ranges up to 50 Hz, depending on the density and viscosity of the fluid. The amplitude of the axissymmetric oscillations varies from micrometers to millimeters. The oscillating drops can be analyzed by conventional drop contour analysis and by the new approach of pressure measurement with the high-performance pressure sensor (ODG 20P). Together with the SCA 26 the ODG 20 and ODG 20P offers the following measurement and calculation options: • software controlled amplifier for pre-defined waveforms (sinusoidal, saw tooth, rectangular, tri- angular or arbitrary), • constant volume mode with axis-symmetric drop shape oscillations, • relaxational mode following the instant increase/decrease of the drop volume. • pressure measuring mode with automatic drop volume tracking and an increased accuracy and resolution of the dilatational modulus, • analysis of the real and imaginary part of the interfacial dilatational modulus based on the oscillating or relaxing contour of pendant drops. • analysis of the relaxational modulus.
