Abstract
A microscope-based observation method developed by Scheludko and Tchaliovska has been employed to study the wetting properties of hydrophobed as well as initially clean, freshly cleaved muscovite mica submerged in dodecyl ammonium chloride (DAC) solution. The observations made and the results obtained on thin-film lifetimes, contact angle hysteresis, and rates of expansion of the meniscus perimeter reflect the importance of hydrophobic attraction forces as well as of attractive and repulsive electrostatic forces
