Springer Modern Approaches To Wettability Theory And Applications 1992 Edition by G.I. Loeb M.e. Schrader
Striking a balance between applied and theoretical research this work details many of the uses of wettability and interprets experimental data from a variety of viewpoints including the 'separation of forces' and the 'equation of state approaches.' Table of contents : The Modern Theory of Contact Angles and the Hydrogen Bond Component of Surface Energies (R.J. Good C.J. van Oss). The LongRange Attraction Between Macroscopic Hydrophobic Surfaces (H.K. Cristenson). High and MediumEnergy Surfaces (M.E. Schrader). Determination of the Surface Energy of Solids by the Two Liquid Phase Method (J. Schultz M. Nardin). The Equation of State Approach to Interfacial Tensions (J.K. Spelt et al.). Thermal Reconstruction of the Functionalized Interface of Polyethylene Carboxylic Acid and its Derivatives (G.S. Ferguson G.M. Whitesides). Block Copolymers and Hydrophilicity (A. Takahara). Wettability and Bioadhesion in Ophthalmology (F.J. Holly). Wettability of Surfaces in the Oral Cavity (H.J. Busscher). Wettability as a Surface Signal for Aquatic Organisms (G.I. Loeb J.W. Mihm). Wettability of Clay Minerals (S. Yariv). 5 additional articles. Index.
