We present an analysis for properly interpreting apparent dynamic contact angles measured using the Wilhelmy plate method at low capillary numbers, Ca. This analysis removes the ambiguity in current dynamic measurements which interpret data with the same formula as static measurements. We properly a

The dynamic wetting behaviour on a perfluorinated, low-energy solid has been investigated for a carbohydrate-modified phenylsiloxane surfactant. The surfactant concentration, the rate of interface generation and the [solid/liquid interface area] : [liquid/vapour interface area] ratio were varied sys
For selected carbohydrate-modified Silicon surfactants of the siloxane, carbosilane, polysilane and silane type, the concentration dependences of the liquid/vapour and solid/liquid interfacial tensions under equilibrium conditions have been determined. Further, the Lifshitz-van der Waals and donor-a
