can exhibit unusually large hysteresis, an additional factor Wetting experiments were performed to determine how contact may influence the contact angles. The vertical component angles and their hysteresis change with the mechanical properties of the liquid surface tension can deform the underlying
The wetting behavior of a series of aliphatic polyamides (PAs) has been examined. PAs with varying amide content and polyethylene (PE) were molded against glass to produce surfaces with similar roughness. After cleaning, chemical composition of the surfaces was verified with X-ray photoelectron spec
Advancing and receding contact angles of four organic liquids and water were measured on a variety of polymer surfaces and silicon wafers using an inclinable plane. Contact angles varied widely from liquid to liquid and from surface to surface. Surface roughness was relatively unimportant. Instead,
