FINAL PROGRAM
NINTH INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON
CONTACT ANGLE,WETTABILITY AND
ADHESION Rauch Business Center
Lehigh University, Bethlehem
Pennsylvania, June 16-18, 2014
SYMPOSIUM HISTORY ANDMOTIVIATION
In his opening remarks at the first symposium in this series
Professor Robert Good pointed out that Galileo in the 17th
century was quite likely the first investigator to observe contact
angle behavior with his experiment of floating a thin gold leaf
on top of a water surface. Since that time contact angle
measurements have found wide application as a method for
determining the energetics of surfaces. This, in turn, has a
profound effect on the wettability and adhesion of liquids and
coatings to surfaces.
This symposium will be concerned with both the fundamental
and applied aspects of contact angle measurements. Issues
such as the applicability and validity of various measurement
techniques and the proper theoretical framework for the
analysis of contact angle data will be of prime concern.
In addition, a host of applications of the contact angle technique
will be explored including but not limited to: wettability of
powders, fibers, wood products, paper, polymers and
monolayers. Further focus will be on the use of contact angle
data in evaluating surface modification procedures, determining
relevance of wettability to adhesion, the role of wettability in
bioadhesion, ophthalmology, prosthesis and in the control of
dust in mining and milling applications.
AUDIENCE AND PARTICIPATION
The primary focus of this symposium will be to provide a forum
for the discussion of cutting edge advancements in the field and
to review and consolidate the accomplishments which have
been achieved thus far. Further information available online:
