Abstract
⺠Solid-liquid adhesion is governed by van der Waals and acid-base interactions. ⺠Surfactant adsorption modifies wetting of low- and high-energy surfaces differently. ⺠The “effective” SL-interfacial tension is the excess Gibbs energy of the SL-interface. ⺠Contact angle saturation occurs when the interfacial water structure becomes unstable. ⺠An unstable water structure prevents a further increase of the acid-base interactions.
