Determining contact angle of solutions with varying surface tension on dry and pre-wetted silica sands

Creator:

McGinnis, Thomas L.

Abstract:

Infiltration of highly concentrated solutions into unsaturated sand is suspected to be affected by the liquid-gas interfacial tension between the resident water and that of the infiltrating solution. The wetting of non-porous solid surfaces by liquids is commonly quantified by contact angle measurements. However, it is well known that wettability...
