Square film samples of few mm were put on a sample holder with an adhesive tape without metal coating and were examined with a JEOL JSM 6400 (Tokyo, Japan) scanning electron microscope at an intensity of 15 kV using magnifications from 200 to 10000x.
Afterward, the sample was taken out from the water bath, and an iron cone was put on the sample surface.
If it's an organic sound, it absolutely cannot be put on a sampler.
Due to the heterogeneity of the material surface, six drops were put on each sample.
The carbon black powder was put on a sample stage, and the absorption spectra were detected.
To obtain the averaged CA values, the measurements were performed for 10 water droplets put on each sample.
