Description

This volume chronicles the proceedings of the 5th International Symposium on Contact Angle; Wettability and Adhesion; Toronto; Canada; June 2006. Wettability is of pivotal importance in many and varied arenas; ranging from mundane to micro-and nanofluidics to lithography to biomedical. It should be underscored that in the last years there has been burgeoning interest in replicating the so-called "Lotus Leaf Effect" to create superhydrophobic surfaces. This volume contains a total of 19 papers covering many facets of contact angle; wettability; and adhesion. All manuscripts were rigorously peer-reviewed and revised and edited before inclusion in this book. Concomitantly; this volume represents an archival publication of the highest standard.This book (5th volume in the series) is divided into three parts: Part 1 - Contact Angle Measurements and Solid Surface Free Energy; Part 2 - Relevance of Wetting in Cleaning and Adhesion; and Part 3 - Superhydrophobic Surfaces. The topics covered include fundamental aspects of contact angle and its measurement; solidification contact angles of micro-droplets; microscopic wettability of wood call walls; dynamic vapor-liquid interfacial tension; surface free energy of polymeric materials; surface cleanliness evaluation from wettability measurements; wettability parameters affecting surface cleanability of stainless steel and textiles; wetting and adhesion in fibrous materials; wettability and adhesion of coatings; adhesion of hydrophobizing agents; modulation of surface properties of polymers; graft efficiency and adhesion; relevance of interfacial free energy in cell adhesion; various approaches to create superhydrophobic surfaces; and adsorption of surfactants on hydrophobic and superhydrophobic surfaces.
