Surface pressure—area isotherm can be defined as a measurement at a constant temperature of surface pressure, as a function of the available area for each molecule in Langmuir film.
A Langmuir-Blodgett film can be defined as one or more monolayers of material deposited from a liquid surface onto a solid substrate.
Receding contact angle is the lowest possible contact angle on a given surface. Receding angle is measured on previously wetted surface.
Advancing contact angle is the highest possible contact angle measured on a previously unwetted solid surface.
Roughness corrected contact angle, is an angle where the effect of surface roughness is taken away.
Instead, one can measure static contact angles, advancing and receding contact angles, and roughness corrected contact angles.
In this blog post, the most common interfacial shear rheology methods are reviewed.
The method to calculate the surface tension component is defined in ISO 19403-5:2017 standard.
