Evaluation device for proposed ISO standard testing method of self cleaning performance of semiconducting photocatalytic materials based on Surface Energy Evaluation System (SEES) designed by Masaryk University Brno, Czech Republic. SEES is portable instrument for quick and easy contact angle measurement and surface energy calculation. For the proposed ISO standard method the SEES was modified in cooperation with the experts working in the photocatalytic field from the Czech Research Centre for Nanosurface Engineering - NANOPIN (www.nanopin.cz). Device will be commercialy available in the second half of 2007.
