摘要
The current general problems of formulation and determination of surface free energy are discussed. So far several theories and approaches have been proposed, but formulation of surface and interfacial free energy, as regards its components, is still a very debatable issue. However, as long as no method for determination of real surface free energy quantities is known, even relative values charged with many simplified assumptions are useful for better understanding of the wetting processes. In this paper special focus is concentrated on powdered solids for which direct measurement of the contact angles is not possible. For such solids the porous layer imbibition techniques are most frequently applied. Then, using the wicking results the contact angle is calculated from Washburn's equation. However, such a procedure leads to overestimated contact angle values in comparison to those measured directly on smooth surfaces of the same solid, if such surface can be obtained at all. As a consequence, the solid surface free energy components calculated via such overestimated contact angles are significantly lower than those obtained from contact angles measured directly. Methodologies to avoid this problem are also described. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
