A wetting layer is an monolayer of atoms that is epitaxially grown on a flat surface. The atoms forming the wetting layer can be semimetallic elements/compounds...

A wetting transition (Cassie–Wenzel transition) may occur during the process of wetting of a solid (or liquid) surface with a liquid. The transition corresponds...

With the reduction in droplet size came new experimental observations of wetting. These observations confirmed that the modified Young's equation does not...

completely wets the substrate. If 0° < θ < 90°, high wetting occurs. If 90° < θ < 180°, low wetting occurs. If θ = 180°, the liquid does not wet the substrate...

soldered joint can be made to that material. Good solderability requires wetting (low contact angle) of the substrate by the solder. Solderability varies...

Wetting-down is a raucous ceremony for newly promoted officers observed in the U.S. and Royal navies, and the U.S. Coast Guard. The U.S. Marines, National...

Alternate wetting and drying (AWD) is a water management technique, practiced to cultivate irrigated lowland rice with much less water than the usual...

Electrowetting is the modification of the wetting properties of a surface (which is typically hydrophobic) with an applied electric field. The electrowetting...

usually a flux. It then flows over the base metal (in a process known as wetting) and is then cooled to join the work pieces together. A major advantage...

occurs when a wetting fluid displaces a non-wetting fluid, the opposite of drainage in which a non-wetting phase displaces the wetting fluid. The two...

Diurnal enuresis is daytime wetting (functional daytime urinary incontinence). Nocturnal enuresis is nighttime wetting. Enuresis is defined as the involuntary...

non-wetting phase {\displaystyle p_{\text{non-wetting phase}}} is the pressure of the non-wetting phase p wetting phase {\displaystyle p_{\text{wetting phase}}}...

addition of tin—more expensive than lead—improves wetting properties of the alloy; lead itself has poor wetting characteristics. High-tin tin-lead alloys have...
