Abstract
⺠We corrected a misconception on the role of oxides on wettability in heat pipes. ⺠Time of spreading of a droplet is used to measure the rate of hydrophilicty loss. ⺠Samples in ambient air become hydrophobic but not in pure air or nitrogen. ⺠XPS and TOF-SIMS show carbon content increases when samples are in ambient air. ⺠We show the link between increasing the carbon and hydrophobicity in foams.
