Contact Angles and the Surface Free Energy of Solids

  • Chapter
Surface and Colloid Science

Abstract

This chapter, and the following one by Neumann and Good, deal with the measurement of contact angles in three-phase systems. The contact angle is, intrinsically, a macroscopic property, and one that should be amenable to a phenomenological treatment, e.g., to measurement without regard to its thermodynamic or microscopic interpretation. But inevitably, the desire for a thermodynamic and molecular interpretation arises. In addition, some fundamental questions about solid surfaces come up, and the problem of hysteresis must be given explicit consideration. So there is a need to go beyond phenomenology.
