Conversion Formula
nN/m = dyn/cm × 1000000
About Dynes per centimetre
The dyne per centimetre (dyn/cm) equals 10⁻³ N/m - the CGS unit of surface tension, numerically identical to mN/m, mJ/m² and erg/cm². Still widely used in older scientific literature and industrial tensiometry: water = 72.8 dyn/cm; surfactant solutions typically 30-60 dyn/cm above the CMC. 1 dyn/cm = 1 mN/m = 1 erg/cm².
About Nanonewtons per metre
The nanonewton per metre (nN/m) equals 10⁻⁹ N/m, encountered in AFM force spectroscopy for interfacial line-tension measurements and wetting studies on nanostructured surfaces. Colloidal particle contact lines at fluid interfaces can exert forces in the nN/m range. 1 nN/m = 10⁻³ µN/m = 10⁻⁶ mN/m.
