Part of the book series: Understanding Complex Systems ((UCS))

Abstract

The concept of splitting the surface energy as a sum of four contributions arising from different types of interactions is briefly reviewed before describing some of the most frequently used methods for contact angle measurement. Most of the chapter is dedicated to describe important technological applications for which wetting is very important. Among these processes we have focused on: composite processing, human hair conditioning, and new textile behavior against moisture and stains. Finally, the wettability of engineered nanoparticles is discussed; this has become a very important problem for the use of nanoparticles as substitutes of standard surfactants in foam and emulsion stabilization.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Subsequently, Fowkes used the index “ab” (for acid–base) instead of “H”. Hydrogen bonding is a special case of acid–base bonding.

  2. 2.

    This one resulting from calculations according to Lifschitz theory.

  3. 3.

    E.g. the presence of COOH, OH, or NH2 groups which interact with polar groups of adjacent chains is responsible for a higher mechanical strength of the polymer.

  4. 4.

    Strictly speaking, these are quasi-static measurements in the physical sense.
