Beschreibung:
Discusses measuring the surface properties of flat or particulate solids with contact angles of drops of high-energy liquids deposited on solid surfaces or via the thin-layer wicking technique. It focuses on Lifshitz-van der Waals, Lewis acid-base, and electrical double layer interactions.
