Table 2. Advancing Contact Angle of DI Water and Hexadecane on All Surfacesa.
DI water | hexadecane | surface energy (mJ/m2) | |
---|---|---|---|
Ti | 92 | 19 | 27.75 |
A | 98 | 24 | 25.85 |
Ti1 | 40 | 0 | 57.56 |
A1 | 63 | 0 | 42.07 |
Ti2 | 18 | 0 | 69.36 |
A2 | 30 | 0 | 63.07 |
Ti3 | 76 | 0 | 34.70 |
A3 | 65 | 0 | 40.81 |
The values were rounded off to zero decimal places. There is a significant difference in surface energy (p < 0.05) between all surfaces except A1 and A3 and Ti and Ti3.
