Careful measurements of the surface tension of solid polymers, ys, based on the data on contact angles for wetting liquids with various surface tension, yL, allows one to establish the functional dependence of ys =f'(yL). This dependence is divided into three zones: one zone, where there is no dependence of on y L and two zones where ys changes linearly with yc
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
