This book describes wetting fundamentals and reviews the standard protocol for contact angle measurements. The authors include a brief overview of applications of contact angle measurements in surface science and engineering. They also discuss recent advances and research trends in wetting fundamentals and include measurement techniques and data interpretation of contract angles.

Dr. Kock-Yee Law is a researcher in nanotechnology and surface design with over 120 peer-reviewed publications and 105 granted US patents to date. Dr. Hong Zhao is an Assistant Professor at Virginia Commonwealth University, School of Engineering, Mechanical, and Nuclear Engineering.
