Abstract

AbstractSurface tension is a parameter of decisive importance for characterizing painted and unpainted surfaces related to wetting and adhesion phenomena. This article presents measurements of the surface tension of solids by means of an automatic contact angle measurement device. The evaluation of the surface tension is based on a separation into polar and disperse components. In addition, this paper briefly touches on other, more far‐reaching approaches (acid/base) and discusses a method for the determination of dynamic surface tension of liquids.
