ramé-hart instrument co. is represented by dedicated and exclusive agents worldwide. In South Korea, we have been proudly represented for many years by Technox, a company specializing in precision measurement devices for the research and educational sectors.
Recently, Technox showcased our Model 210 Goniometer / Tensiometer at the 2024 K-BATTERY Show, a key exhibition for the secondary battery industry, which is at the forefront of the fourth industrial revolution, driven by future technologies like the Internet of Things and artificial intelligence. The K-BATTERY Show was held in conjunction with the H2MEET Show to create synergistic opportunities in the energy sector.
As a contributor to disruptive technology, ramé-hart, in collaboration with Technox, is proud to serve as a leading provider of scientific instruments used in the development of advanced battery technologies. Our tools are used by researchers in Korea and globally for a wide range of applications, including the precise measurement of contact angle and surface energy, which are critical in the development of next-generation batteries and other related advanced technologies. Approximately one-third of our instruments are shipped to customers outside the United States, reflecting ramé-hart's position as a global leader in surface science instrumentation. Through strong partnerships with agents like Technox and other dedicated representatives worldwide, we are able to serve a diverse international market. If you are located outside the US and interested in acquiring a ramé-hart instrument, please contact us, and we will connect you with our local representative to assist with your needs. In regions where we do not currently have an agent, we are always ready to work directly with our international customers. |
| Application Spotlight: Surface Energy in Battery Development |
|
As the demand for advanced energy storage
solutions continues to grow, researchers not just in Korea but around
the world are turning to surface science to push the boundaries of
battery technology. From solid-state batteries to the next generation of
lithium-ion cells, understanding surface interactions is critical to
achieving higher performance, increased safety, and longer lifespans. Surface energy and contact angle measurements, made possible by precision instruments like ramé-hart’s goniometer / tensiometer products, are playing a pivotal role in these advancements. Our instruments provide the essential data needed to optimize materials for energy storage by analyzing how surfaces interact with liquids—an especially crucial factor when developing the interfaces within a battery, such as between electrodes, electrolytes, and protective coatings.
In battery development, controlling wetting behavior can directly affect the efficiency of charge transfer, ion mobility, and chemical stability. A well-balanced surface energy ensures that materials can perform reliably under demanding conditions, minimizing risks like dendrite growth or thermal runaway, both of which are concerns in lithium-ion and solid-state batteries. By understanding and fine-tuning these surface interactions, researchers are able to develop batteries with higher energy densities and faster charge times. In South Korea, ramé-hart is proudly represented by our longtime partner Technox, a leader in precision measurement solutions for the research and educational sectors. Many of our mutual customers in Korea are at the forefront of cutting-edge battery research, employing ramé-hart goniometers and tensiometers to explore new materials and fabrication techniques that will shape the future of energy storage. This research extends globally as well, with innovations in battery technology taking place across North America, Europe, and Asia, supported by the widespread adoption of ramé-hart goniometer and tensiometer instruments. The precision and reliability of our contact angle and surface energy measurement tools make them indispensable in these critical studies. By providing accurate insights into how materials interact at the molecular level, we help scientists overcome the challenges associated with the development of disruptive technologies like solid-state batteries and advanced lithium-ion systems. At ramé-hart, we are proud to contribute to the energy revolution by supporting researchers worldwide. Whether through our partnerships with agents like Technox or our direct collaboration with international customers, our instruments are key to unlocking the potential of next-generation battery technologies. By driving progress in surface science, we are helping to power the future. |
