This book chronicles the proceedings of the International Symposium
on Apparent and Microscopic Contact Angles, held in conjunction
with the American Chemical Society meeting in Boston, August
24--27, 1998. The symposium provided an opportunity to discuss
several controversial issues associated with interfacial phenomena
that govern the behavior of the three-phase systems. This volume
contains 28 papers --- previously published in 3 issues of the
Journal of Adhesion Science and Technology. The book is divided
into four parts: Nanoscopic and Molecular Effects on Contact
Angles; Surface Forces and Surface Free Energy; Wetting of
Heterogeneous, Rough and Curved Surfaces; Dynamic Effects in
Contact Angle Measurements. Among the topics covered are: contact
line tension measurement; liquid drop surface topography; molecular
mechanisms of hydrophobic transitions; stereochemical and
conformational aspects of polymer surfaces; determination of
acid-base properties of metal oxides and polymers by contact angle
measurement; van Oss--Good theory of acid-base surface free
energies; AFM measurement of forces; thin liquid films; wettability
of flat and curved surfaces; contact angle hysteresis; factors
affecting contact angle meassurements; dynamic wetting behavior;
and effect of surfactants on wetting.
