Surface Fabrication

Jikan provides various coatings with a wide range of wettability properties, spanning from superhydrophilic to superhydrophobic ones, and develops customized coatings with desired wettablility as a service.

Understanding Surface Nano-Engineering:

The act of making nano size patterns on a substrate is called surface nano-engineering. The patterns are fabricated in a way to show certain properties such as desired wettability properties. General method of making these, consists of a way to make nano size roughness on the substrate's surface and make a coating on it to enhance some of its properties.

Understanding Contact Angle:

The formed angle between liquid-solid and gas-liquid lines, starting from inside of the liquid, is called contact angle.

Defining wettability, self-cleaning, surface free energy, hydrophobicity,and hydrophilicity are the main applications of using contact angle as a surface property. A surface with a water contact angle of less than 90 degrees is called a hydrophilic surface, but when its higher than 90 its called hydrophobic. in certain conditions water contact angle may go higher than 150 degrees and it's called superhydrophobic. also when the contact angle is less than 10 degrees it's called a superhydrophilic surface.

Contact Angle Measurement is widely used in order to define surface's wettability. This service is also available in Jikan.

Jikan Coating Services:

Jikan provides you with superhydrophilic to superhydrophobic properties on a plenty of metals (Aluminium, steel, titanium, magnesium and copper).

The micro and nano structures could be implemented on substrates with any shape (such as plane, foils, pipes, rods, laces, impellers and so on).
