This book chronicles the proceedings of the Symposium on Contact Angle, Wettability and Adhesion held in honor of Professor Robert J. Good at the American Chemical Society meeting in San Francisco, 6--10 April 1992.
The book opens with a description of the professional and personal life of Professor Good, followed by 62 papers divided 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, 1991 Physics Nobel Laureate); various factors influencing contact angle measurements; surface roughness effects in wetting phenomena; microscopic studies of static and dynamic contact angles; contact angles on plates and thin fibers; wettability behavior and surface characterization of various materials; wettability of pharmaceutical powders; wettability of wood; wetting properties of monolayers; control of wettability of polymers using organic surface chemistry; polymer surface modification and wettability; relevance of wettability in adhesion; wettability and bioadhesion; role of water wettability, water transport and adhesion in vision; wettability and adhesion in metal-ceramic systems; relevance of wetting in the control of dust during coal mining.

Part 1 General papers: contact angle, wetting and adhesion - a critical review; capillary rise of a liquid on a solid grafted with long polymer chains; roles of molecular interactions in adhesion, adsorption, contact angle and wettability; spreading, wetting and contact angles; sessile drops - do they really stand on solid surfaces? Part 2 Factors influencing contact angle measurements: contact angle equilibrium - the intrinsic contact angle; microscopic studies of static and dynamic contact angles; effects of surface flaws on the wettability of solids; on surface roughness effects in wetting phenomena; structural interactions in the wetting and spreading of van der Waals fluids; local deviation in contact angles on heterogeneous fibrous solids; direct measurements of the contact angle on plates and on thin fibers - some theoretical aspects; pore size distribution in separon using mercury contact angles in pores and hysteresis in porosimetry; determination of contact angles and pore sizes of porous media by column and thin layer wicking. Part 3 Wettability behaviour and surface characterization of various materials: contact angle studies of surface-hydrophilic elastomer films; the wetting properties of grafted cellulose films; contact angle measurements as a way to analyze synthetic rubber surfaces modified by chlorination; dynamic wetting behaviour of silicon wafers in alkaline solutions of interest to semiconductor processing; assessment of the wettability of pharmaceutical powders; improving the wettability of aluminium foil with oxygen plasma treatments; wettability of weathered wood. Part 4 Wettability and adhesion and applied aspects of contact angle/wettability: contact angle data and adhesive performance for smooth surfaces with attached molecular chains; enhancement of polymer film adhesion using acid-base interactions determined by contact angle measurements; the effect of surface energetics and molecular interdiffusion on adhesion in multicomponent polymer systems; wettability and adhesion studies of grated poly(p-phenylene terephthalamide) fiber surfaces; investigation of the surface free energy of pharmaceutical materials from contact angle, sedimentation and adhesion measurements; effects on protein adsorption, bacterial adhesion and contacct angle of grafting PEG chains to polystryrene.
