Experimental Study of the Influence of the Adsorbate Layer Composition on the Wetting of Different Substrates with Water

Figure 5

Atom number fractions of oxygen , polar carbon , and nonpolar carbon in the adsorbate layer. Results for different substrates: gold (circles), steel (triangles), and titanium (squares). Pretreatment: no-oil (open symbols) and with oil (filled symbols). Cleaning: CCC (blue), AAA (red), III (green), and NC (black). The results for gold were obtained in the present work; the other results are taken from Becker et al. [20]. No error bars are depicted for clarity. The one-parametric empirical correlation (Equation (8)) is shown as black line.
