Abstract
Data have been presented on wetting of the surfaces of gelatin hydrogels and natural chamois leather with water and sunflower oil both in the initial state and after treatment with hydrophobizing agents—poly(1,1,2,2-tetrahydroperfluoroalkylmethyl acrylates), where perfluoroalkyl is n-C6F13 and n-C8F17. The kinetics of variations in the contact angles of water droplets on the hydrogel and leather has been analyzed in order to determine the correlation between the wettability and water-resistance of the samples treated with the hydrophobizing agents.
