Written for both newcomers and experienced researchers in the field, this book explains how surface forces interacting at the three-phase contact line determine all equilibrium and kinetics features of liquids in contact with solids or other immiscible liquids. It details the kinetics of wetting and spreading over porous and nonporous substrates. Topics include Young’s equation, disjoining pressure, and other fundamentals; novel universal spreading laws that apply to the spreading over porous substrates; hydrophilic/hydrophobic substrates; the imbibition of surfactant solutions; and future directions for research and applications.
