Advancing contact angles of different liquids measured on the same solid surface fall very
close to a smooth curve when plotted as a function of liquid surface tension, ie, γlvcosθ …

Two challenging scientific disciplines, ie, the physics of glasses [Anderson, Science 267,
1615 (1995); Kennedy and Norman, Science 309, 75 (2005)] and interface chemistry …

Surface thermodynamics forms the foundation of any meaningful study of capillarity and
wetting phenomena. This second edition offers a comprehensive state-of-the-art treatment of …

Many surfaces reversibly change their structure and interfacial energy upon being in contact
with a liquid. Such surfaces adapt to a specific liquid. We propose the first order kinetic …

The surface of oxygen-plasma-treated polystyrene (PSox) was investigated using X-ray
photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), streaming potential measurements and a dynamic study …

The wetting behavior of a series of aliphatic polyamides was examined. Polyamides and
polyethylene were molded against glass to produce smooth surfaces. After cleaning …

Plasma treated polymer surface shows rapid hydrophobic recovery after plasma treatment.
Surface rearrangement and the hydrophilicity change of low density polyethylene (LDPE) …

The wetting behavior of a series of aliphatic polyamides (PAs) has been examined. PAs with
varying amide content and polyethylene (PE) were molded against glass to produce …

Polyolefin surfaces, namely isotactic poly (propylene)(iPP) and low‐density polyethylene
(LDPE), were modified by corona discharge plasma. The chemical changes on the modified …

Results of studies on the separation of gases and vapours using fluorine-containing
polymers are integrated and analyzed. Methods for the synthesis of these polymers are …
