Abstract
A synopsis is given of the controversy about the wetting of pure gold and other noble metals by water and final conclusions are summarized. Adsorption of water as a monolayer or as a thicker film on the surface of high energy solids such as glass, quartz, sapphire, and metals considerably lowers the surface energy of such solids; resulting energy values are independent of the chemical nature of the surfaces. This work makes it evident that extreme care is needed in drying gases and surfaces used in research in surface and colloid science, and in practical applications. Wetting studies of liquid ceramics and high-melting metals and alloys require high temperature studies; the critical surface tension of wetting, γc, decreases as the temperature rises, and an outline is given for the correct ways these results should be applied. Research with high polymers has taught that for good adhesion, complete wetting must first be obtained. The results point to new circumstances for preventing permeability to water, and new copolymers exist now which prevent such liquid penetration. Major advances for hot-melt adhesives are indicated.
