CO2sc Experimental Station

This custom-designed equipment is a versatile and instrumented experimental station for studying biphasic systems (e.g., emulsions and suspensions) at equilibrium under controlled pressure and temperature in supercritical CO₂ (scCO₂); it also enables contact angle measurements (sessile drop method) and interfacial tensiometry (Windrop® software, Teclis); it is equipped with a motorized variable-volume mixing cell and a measurement cell, both fitted with viewing windows.
