TABLE II.
Wetting and frictional properties of Si surfaces with various coatings. are total, dispersed, and polar surface energies, respectively. CA and CAH represent the contact angle and contact angle hysteresis, respectively. Friction coefficients were measured between a Si atomic force microscopy tip and Si surfaces with various coatings using atomic force microscopy.
