Wetting: Products, High-energy vs. low-energy surfaces & Modifying wetting properties

Wetting is the ability of a liquid to maintain contact with a solid surface by displacing another substance or material – either a gas, or other liquid not miscible with the wetting liquid – due to the differential strength of intermolecular interactions with the surface.
