Description: This volume represents a commentary on the current R&D activity in this arena and it should be of great value and interest to anyone interested in adhesion.
2. The Effect of the Acid-Base Chemistry of Lactose on Its Adhesion to Gelatin Capsules: Conclusions from Contact Angle Measurements and Other Surface Chemical Techniques
18. Uncured Silicone Sealant Surface Energy as Determined by Contact Angle Measurements: A New Quantitative Tool for The Assessment of Sealant Ease of Use
This volume documents the proceedings of the Second International Symposium on Contact Angle, Wettability and Adhesion held in Newark, NJ, June 21-23, 2000. The topics covered include: various factors influencing contact angle measurements; various ways to measure contact angles; contact angle hysteresis; microscopic studies of static and dynamic contact angles; monitoring surface properties by contact angle measurements; contact angle measurements on various materials (smooth, rough, porous, heterogeneous); microtensiometry to determine contact angles on individual particles; surface free energy determination of various polymeric materials via contact angle measurements; factors influencing wetting and spreading phenomena; dewetting kinetics; wetting properties of wood, coal, paper, human skin and optoelectronic materials; droplet deposition on fibers; electrowetting; and relation between wettability and adhesion.
