Festschrift in Honor of
Professor Robert J. Good
Editor: K.L. Mittal
This book chronicles the proceedings of the Symposium onContact Angle, Wettability and Adhesion held in honor of ProfessorRobert J. Good at the American Chemical Society meeting in SanFrancisco, 6--10 April 1992.
The book opens with a description of theprofessional and personal life of Professor Good, followed by 62 papersdivided into four parts. The topics covered include: Contact angle,wettability and adhesion: a critical review (by Professor Good himself);capillary rise of a liquid on a solid (by Professor de Gennes, 1991Physics Nobel Laureate); various factors influencing contact anglemeasurements; surface roughness effects in wetting phenomena;microscopic studies of static and dynamic contact angles; contact angleson plates and thin fibers; wettability behavior and surfacecharacterization of various materials; wettability of pharmaceuticalpowders; wettability of wood; wetting properties of monolayers; controlof wettability of polymers using organic surface chemistry; polymersurface modification and wettability; relevance of wettability inadhesion; wettability and bioadhesion; role of water wettability, watertransport and adhesion in vision; wettability and adhesion inmetal-ceramic systems; relevance of wetting in the control of dustduring coal mining.
This book, containing the latest developments and commentries on themany ramifications of contact angle, wettability and adhesion, will beof value and interest to researchers and technologists working in thisfield.
