Abstract

Experimental results for the wicking process in a solid thin porous layer by liquids of different polarity with defined surface free energy components and viscosity has been considered theoretically. The method was used for determination of the solid surface free energy of the adsorbents used in thin layer chromatography. Experiments were performed on commercial glass plates precoated with silica, CN-silica, diol-silica, NH 2 -silica, and silanized silica with n -alkanes, diiodomethane, water, and formamide as mobile phases. Surface free energy components determined for investigated adsorbents were used for characterization and comparison of their surface properties.
