Autoradiography studies of the processes of wetting and spreading

Abstract

Data of the studies of wetting and spreading in liquid metal-solid metal systems, as well as the modification of various solid surfaces with aqueous surfactant solutions, by the autoradiography technique are reported.

Contact angles as indicators of the polymer surface structure

“…This conclusion was confirmed by the visualization of the tritium-labeled TX-100 adsorption layer ( 3 Н-ТХ-100) on the PS surface by the autoradiography method* [21]. This structure of the layers has the general character, which is demonstrated by the wetting method and confirmed by other physicochemical methods not only for PS/TX-100 and PE/ТХ-100 systems but also for the surface modification of other solids by surfactant adsorption layers casted from lowconcentration solutions [11,22].…”
