Interface Science


For Dow Corning to successfully offer new and improved technologies to you, we must have a firm understanding of the science that is the foundation of our products – particularly in the area of interfacial science.

Using extensive, current equipment and facilities, Dow Corning’s experienced interface scientists have the ability to:

  • Chemically characterize the top few molecular layers of a material’s surface
  • Measure the attractive force that exists between two surfaces in nanometer or millimeter dimensions
  • Characterize polymer surfaces at a nanoscopic level
  • Modify the surface of a polymer to meet specific requirements
  • Quantitatively characterize the interface between two liquids
  • Optimize formulations of aqueous silicone products
  • Quantitatively characterize the drainage of liquid films
  • Model chemical structures and molecular behavior
  • Investigate the performance of new materials

What is an interface and why is it important?
