✦ Synopsis

A new mathematical approach to an existing wicking method has been presented to determine the relative wettability of carbon Iibres. The wettability of carbon fibres is discussed in terms of the angle of contact of a test liquid against the fibres. The wettability of carbon fibres of a given quality is evaluated relative to that of those of a known quality. Thus if the angle of contact of the test liquid against fibres of the known quality is known, the same against fibres of the given quality can be readily determined.
