The contact angles of several liquids on human skin were measured before and after extraction of surface lipids with acetone. The critical surface tension of the skin was determined by extrapolating the cosines of the contact angles of the liquids as a function of their surface tensions to unity. Th

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
Wetting properties of a solid surface can change as a consequence of chemical treatment. There is a relationship between the molecular structure of a surface and the macroscopic properties of this surface such as wetting and adhesion. Information on the surface energy of a solid was obtained by calc
An experimental investigation was conducted to understand the effect of solid properties on dynamic wetting. Using a liquid tank method, the wetting behavior of silicone oil over glass, aluminum, and stainless steel surfaces was measured. For all three surfaces, the dynamic contact angles disagreed
