Surface Wetting Characterization, Contact Angle, and Fundamentals

This book describes key basic concepts in surface and clarifies fundamental issues that lead to misconceptions in wetting and contact angle interpretation. A set of contact angle measurement protocols is summarized and may be served as guidelines for future standardization in this field. The authors...
