Protection of ultrahydrophilic|surfaces from loose of wettability

  • Challenge: Rapid loss of ultra-hydrophilic surface properties after exposition to air
  • Solution: Morphoplant's patented dry packaging technology allows long-term cost effective conservation
  • Proof: Quantification of wettability by dynamic contact angle measurement (advancing and receding angle of 0° equals to complete wettability)

Storage technology

Ultrahydrophilic freshly prepared sample
advancing angle = 0°
receding angle = 0°

Loss of ultrahydrophilicity after exposition to air for 20 h
advancing angle = 58.5°
receding angle = 0°

Morphoplant's storage technology conserves ultrahydrophilicity
advancing angle = 0°
receding angle = 0°
