wettability (wet´

bil´

tē),

n the angle at which a droplet of liquid interfaces with a horizontal surface; the shape of the droplet varies depending on the type of liquid and surface, thereby influencing the contact angle and thus the wettability. The greater the angle past 90°, the greater the wettability.

angle lens			Summary: TEHRAN (FNA)- The surface properties of graphite, including its wettability and dispersion in water, were improved by Iranian researchers using nanotechnology. Iranian Scientists Increase Graphite Wettability by FARS News Agency Chair of the NPCA/FSCT Publications Subcommittee, and a longtime member of Committee D01, says that D7490 will be used to determine the wettability of a given primer or substrate or can be used to explain why there are wetting problems or defects over a certain primer or substrate. Two new coatings-related standards released by ASTM International by JCT CoatingsTech RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Etching and Weight Loss Study Air plasma treatments affect both the wettability and the elemental surface composition of all materials.
