Kosaki Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Gifu National College of Technology Sinsei-Cho, Motosu-Gun, Gifu, 501-0495 Japan * E-mail: tokoro@gifu-nct.ac.jp Abstract: The relation between motion of water position of the water droplets are evaluated to discuss droplets and their dielectric property on a silicone the change in HC levels from vibration behavior of the rubber surface is studied under AC high-field water droplets [3]. This phenomenon is also detected by application. Both water droplets and inter-digital the change in dielectric property measured by using the stainless steel electrodes are put on the silicone rubber same electrode system on the SIR surface [4]. Electric surface and AC high field with superposition of DC field dependence of dielectric properties, such as AC offset voltage is applied to the electrodes. The vibration loss current, Ixr, and the change in capacitive current of water droplets, which is related to the hydrophobicity from the bridge balance, dIxc, with superposition of DC of the silicone rubber surface, is evaluated by both the offset voltage are measured. Dipoles and charges of the image data analysis of the shape of water droplets and sample may show different behaviors under with and its dielectric measurement using unbalanced operation without the superposition of DC high field to AC field method of a capacitance bridge. These data are useful to application. determine the small changes of hydrophobicity classe
