(Adhesion and Adhesives: Fundamental and Applied Aspects) Volume 4 Edition
by K. L. Mittal (Editor)
This is the fourth volume in the
series "Advances in Contact Angle, Wettability and Adhesion" initiated
to consolidate information and provide commentary on certain recent
research aspects dealing with this important topic. Its predecessor
Volumes 1, 2 and 3 were published in 2013, 2015 and 2018 respectively.
This
new book comprising 14 research and review articles is divided into
four parts: Part 1: Contact Angle and Wettability Aspects;
Part 2: Surface Free Energy and Surface Tension Determination; Part 3: Applied Aspects. The topics covered include:
- Contact Angle Determination of Talc Powders from Heat of Immersion
- Surface Wetting at Macro and Nanoscale
- Wettability
of Wood Surfaces with Waterborne Acrylic Lacquer Stains Modulated by
DBD Plasma Treatment in Air at Atmospheric Pressure
- Wettability of Ultrafiltration Membranes
- Determination of the Surface Free Energy of Solid Surfaces: Can the Best Model be Found
- Surface Free Energy Characterization of Talc Powders
- Determination of the Surface Free Energy of Skin and the Factors Affecting it by the Contact Angle Method
- Determination
of Surface Tension Components of Aqueous Solutions using Fomblin HC/25 R
Perfluoropolyether Liquid Film as a Solid Substrate
- Enhancing the Wettability of Polybenzimidazole (PBI) to Improve Fuel Cell Performance
- Evaluation of Sebum Resistance for Long-Wear Face Make-Up Products Using Contact Angle Measurements
- Contact Angle Hysteresis of Pressure-Sensitive Adhesives due to Adhesion Tension Relaxation
- The Potential of Surface Nano-Engineering and Superhydrophobic Surfaces in Drag Reduction
- Laser Surface Engineering of Polymeric Materials for Enhanced Mesenchymal Stem Cell Adhesion and Growth
- Sisal-Green Resin Interfaces in Green Composites.
