Description

Twenty-five papers from the May 2002 symposium present recent research on contact angle measurement, solid surface free energy, and surface wetting. The contributors examine the molecular origin of contact angles, the different kinds of contact angles, contact angle measurements on various materials, factors affecting wetting and spreading phenomena, wetting in granular and porous media, and the importance of wetting and surface energies in technological applications. Specific topics include condensation transport in triple line motion, ultrahydrophobic polymer surfaces and switchable wettability, self-propelled drop movement, wetting of a substrate by nanocrystallites, and adsorption isotherms of cationic surfactants on bitumen films. No index is provided.
