Recently, there have been numerous deadly gas and oil pipeline explosions in the United
States, resulting in extensive investigations based on corrosion and aged foundations …

Recent progress in the correlation of contact angles with solid surface tensions are
summarized. The measurements of meaningful contact angles in terms of surface energetics …

Three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting is an appealing approach for building tissues; however,
bioprinting of mini-tissue blocks (ie, spheroids) with precise control on their positioning in 3D …

This chapter highlights a variety of techniques that are commonly used to measure contact
angles, including the conventional telescope-goniometer method, the Wilhelmy balance …

Contact angle (CA) is the most important parameter used to quantify the wettability of solid
surfaces. In order to evaluate wettability performance, numerous methods have been …

A new method based on the Young–Laplace equation for measuring contact angles and
surface tensions is presented. In this approach, a first-order perturbation technique helps to …

interface science, fully updated with new content on wetting, spectroscopy, and coatings …

The shale boom in North America started more than a decade ago, however, the issue of
substantial fracturing fluid loss inside shale did not draw much attention for a decade. In the …

Contact angle, a quantitative measure of macroscopic surface wettability, plays an important
role in understanding liquid-vapor heterogeneous phase change phenomena, eg, boiling …

Recent research has led to a deeper understanding of the nature and consequences of
interactions of materials on an atomic scale. The results have resonated throughout the field …
