Machine learning enabled orthogonal camera goniometry for accurate and robust contact angle measurements

Hossein Kabir et al.

Summary: Characterization of surface wettability is important, but conventional fitting algorithms are not accurate for hydrophilic surfaces due to optical distortions. We propose an original setup with Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) for accurate Contact Angle (CA) estimation. The algorithm is trained on 3375 ground truth images, less sensitive to drop edges, and remains stable for blurred images. Our automated orthogonal camera goniometer outperforms existing techniques with lower standard deviation and enables wettability assessment of non-spherical drops on heterogeneous surfaces.

Mayank Pokhriyal et al.

Summary: This study extracts fibers from the stem of Himalayacalamus falconeri (HF) culms and investigates their properties. Alkali treatment enhances the mechanical properties of HF fibers, increases cellulose content and density, reduces fiber diameter, and improves crystallinity index, tensile strength, thermal stability, and surface roughness. The experimental findings suggest that HF fiber is a suitable replacement material for synthetic reinforcement materials in lightweight polymer composites.
