“…By treating the results according to the theoretical approach of Van Oss et al [55] it was possible to obtain reasonable values for the surface enthalpy of the sorbents [114,115], i.e., H S 535 for quartz, 294 for silica gel, and 144 mJ/m 2 for carbosil, which agree satisfactorily with the measurements of other authors (see below). There is, however, an objection to the authors' proposed ratio of 2.5-2.0 between H S and s S (f = 0.4-0.5), which contradicts the experimental data for high-energy materials [16] and even graphite (f » 0.9) [79,82].…”
