Wettability of Polymer Surfaces

  • Chapter
Physicochemical Aspects of Polymer Surfaces

Abstract

The basic theory of wetting is reviewed, covering the concepts of contact angle and polymer surface and interfacial tensions. The necessity of taking into account the interactions between interfaces in the three-phase region is stressed.
