Description
The 17 research and review chapters comprising this book are divided into three parts: • Part 1: Fundamental and General Aspects • Part 2: Wettability Modification • Part 3: Surface Free Energy and Adhesion.
The topics covered include: • wetting of solid walls and spontaneous capillary flow • “ordered water monolayer that does not completely wet water” at room temperature • Cheerios effect and its control by contact angle modulation • mathematical analysis of contact angle hysteresis • computational analysis of wetting and application to self-cleaning mechanisms • bubble adhesion to superhydrophilic surfaces • relationship between the roughness and oleophilicity of surfaces • liquid repellent amorphous carbon nanoparticle networks • mechanical durability of liquid repellent surfaces • superhydrophobic and superoleophobic biobased materials • laser ablation to render stainless steel superhydrophobic • RF plasma treatment of Neptune grass (Posidonia oceanica) to achieve superhydrophilic surfaces • combined photochemical and laser surface modifications to achieve liquid repellent textile surfaces • modification of paper/cellulose to control liquid wetting and adhesion • surface free energy of superhydrophobic materials • role of surface free energy in pharmaceutical tablet strength • why test inks cannot tell the whole truth about surface free energy of solids.
