The Equation of State Approach to Interfacial Tensions

  • Chapter
Modern Approaches to Wettability

Abstract

The determination of solid—vapor (γsv) and solid—liquid (γsl) interfacial tensions is of importance in a wide range of problems in pure and applied science. Because of the complexities involved in measuring directly surface tensions involving a solid phase, there exist, at present, a wide range of indirect approaches for obtaining these values. The attractiveness of using contact angles to estimate γsv and γsl results from the relative ease with which contact angles can be measured on suitably prepared solid surfaces.
