Low-rate dynamic contact angles of nine liquids on a poly-(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) polymer are measured by an automated axisymmetric drop shape analysis-profile (ADSA-P). It is found that two liquids dissolved the polymer on contact. From the experimental contact angles of the other seven polar

Interactions of ionic species, (organic and inorganic) precipitates, and fine solids with a low energy hydrophobic surface were examined using a model system of paraffin wax in aqueous solutions. Contact angle measurement was used to evaluate the interactions between paraffin wax and testing variabl
Low-rate dynamic contact angles of 12 liquids on a poly(methyl methacrylate/ethyl methacrylate, 30/70) P(MMA/EMA, 30/70) copolymer were measured by an automated axisymmetric drop shape analysis-profile (ADSA-P). It was found that five liquids yield nonconstant contact angles, and/or dissolve the pol
The generally accepted strategy of neglecting the polar nature of halogenated liquids in the surface energy determination using the Lifshitz-van der Waals/Lewis acid-base (LW/AB) approach may lead to erroneous and inconsistent results for polar solids. This was demonstrated in a simulation study car
