This volume chronicles the proceedings of the Third International
Symposium on Contact Angle, Wettability and Adhesion held in
Providence, Rhode Island, May 20aEURO"23, 2002. This symposium was
held to provide a forum to update and consolidate the research
activity on this topic. The world of wettability is very wide as it
plays an extremely important role in a legion of technological
areas. This volume contains a total of 25 papers covering myriad
aspects of contact angle and wettability. All manuscripts were
rigorously peer-reviewed and all were revised and properly edited
before inclusion in this volume. This book is divided into three
parts: General Papers; Contact Angle Measurements/Determination and
Solid Surface Free Energy; and Wetting and Spreading: Fundamental
and Applied Aspects. The topics covered include: fundamental
aspects of contact line region; effect of adsorbed vapor on
liquidaEURO"solid adhesion; molecular origin of contact angles;
various factors influencing contact angle measurements; different
kinds of contact angles; various ways to measure contact angles;
contact angle hysteresis; determination of solid surface free
energies via contact angles; contact angle measurements on various
materials (smooth, rough, porous, heterogeneous); factors
influencing/dictating wetting and spreading phenomena;
ultrahydrophobic polymer surfaces; switchable wettability; reactive
wetting; wetting by nanocrystallites; dewetting; wetting of
self-assembled monolayers; reversible wetting of structured
surfaces; wetting in granular and porous media; relationship
between wetting and adhesion; relevance/importance of wetting and
surface energetics in technological applications, including food
industry. This volume and its predecessors containing bountiful
information will be of great interest and value to everyone
interested in the contemporary R&D activity in the fascinating
world of contact angles and wettability. The information garnered
in these volumes will hopefull
