![]() ![]() The wettability of biomaterials is a prerequisite property for ensuring desired biological response. Samal, in Characterization of Polymeric Biomaterials, 2017 Abstract An increment of mPEGA concentration indicates a decrement in water contact angle for EHD/mPEGA which indicates an improvement in surface hydrophilicity ( Yin et al., 2016). Surface wettability test is usually carried out by measuring the contact angle for 3-dioxane-2-etanol diacrylate (EHD) and methoxy poly(ethylene glycol) monoacrylate (mPEGA). Low hydrophilicity limits the applications of cyclic acetals. Network of polymers based on cyclic acetals are used in medical sector. Lower contact angle ( ≤ 90 ° ) signifies greater wettability, whereas higher contact angle ( ≥ 90 ° ) infers lower wettability. Wettability is measured by measuring the contact angle. It measures the surface attributes of polymers and performs many important tasks in printing and coating of liquids. ![]() Wettability measures the level of wetting when solid and liquid phases interact with each other. Wettability is the measurement of liquids’ ability of interaction with other fluids and/or solid surface.
