On February 27, Brighton Science convened automotive industry leaders in Detroit for an in-depth discussion on surface chemistry, materials science, and quality control in manufacturing. The 90-minute presentation, led by Brighton Science's Founder and Chief Scientist Giles Dillingham and Global Applications Director Aaron Berding, explored how measuring water contact angle serves as a critical metric in ensuring adhesion reliability and reducing costly product failures. Attendees gained valuable insights into the science behind surface preparation, contamination challenges, and the role of quantitative surface measurements in optimizing manufacturing processes.
The event underscored the growing importance of surface intelligence in automotive manufacturing, particularly in bonding, coating, and sealing applications. With real-world case studies and interactive discussions, Brighton Science demonstrated how surface measurement tools can help manufacturers prevent adhesion failures before they result in recalls or warranty claims. The session provided a platform for automotive professionals to exchange ideas on improving quality control and supplier collaboration, reinforcing the industry's commitment to advancing material science for better product performance and durability.
