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
