--- title: KRÜSS Webinar | The Science of Surface Free Energy description: Learn how to measure and interpret surface free energy using contact angle methods. Join our webinar to improve adhesion, coating performance, and surface treatment control. --- [![KRÜSS Scientific - Explore the World of Surface Science](https://visit.kruss-scientific.com/hubfs/blue_logo_kruss-01.svg "KRÜSS Scientific - Explore the World of Surface Science")](https://www.kruss-scientific.com/en) ## Focus webinar # **The Science of Surface Free Energy** #### **Advanced insights into adhesion and coating performance** Why do coatings fail even when dyne pen readings look fine? Why does adhesion drop despite clean-looking surfaces? The answer lies in understanding **surface free energy (SFE)** — a fundamental property that defines how materials interact. Join our webinar on demand hosted by **Dr. Fiona Mary Antony (Lab Manager APAC, KRÜSS)** to explore how contact angle-based methods provide precise and reproducible SFE data far beyond what traditional test inks can offer. Learn how to evaluate polar and disperse components of surface energy using the KRÜSS Drop Shape Analyzer (DSA) and Mobile Surface Analyzer (MSA) — and how these insights translate into improved process control and product reliability.
