Characterization of Several Polymer Surfaces by Streaming Potential and Wetting Measurements: Some Reflections on Acid–Base Interactions

Electrokinetic Potential and Other Surface Properties of Polymer Foils and Their Modifications

“…Zeta potential for PET was determined [50] to be about -40 mV (only approximate estimation from figure [50]) using the same instrument as we used (the same cell, electrolyte, concentration, pH=6), this value agrees well with the present one of -54.7 mV, obtained for pH=6.2. Some polymers inclusive PC and PS have also been measured in 0.001 mol/dm 3 KCl, but in different analyser [51] and the data are not comparable with present ones. In addition PS was not in form of foil and other polymers were used without purification and the results can be affected by contaminants (stabilizers) in the polymers.…”

Water Contact Angles and Hysteresis of Polyamide Surfaces

“…• ), contact angles were independent of drop volume and agreed with previously reported values (8,(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21). For the PE surface, composed solely of dispersive methylene groups, advancing and receding contact angles were large with little hysteresis.…”
