... surface and lower wettabilty on smooth surfaces. The contact angles of solders decreased linearly with increase in surface roughness of the substrate. The exponential power law, ϕ=exp(− K τ n ), was used to model the relaxation behaviour of solders. A high intermetallic growth was observed...

... of applications, including the one for sealants applied in contact with self-cleaning glass (SCG). Our discussion here focuses on the possibilities of this particular application. SCG possesses a photocatalyst layer which enables two reactions, i.e., lessening the contact angle of the glass surface...

... of real spray was plotted vs. the logtransformed spread diameter on Para lm M a linear correlation was obtained r2 0.92 . KEYWORDS: adjuvants, contact angle, coverage, retention, spreading, surfactants, wetting Introduction The use of adjuvants is often related to their action as wetting agents, i.e...

...S Singh; M Singh Trifloxysulfuron 2.5, 5, and 10 g ai/ha mixed with non-ionic (0.25% Induce and X-77), organosilicone (0.1 % Kinetic and Silwet L-77), and crop oil concentrate (1 % Agridex and Meth-N-Oil) adjuvants was evaluated for efficacy, surface tension (ST), contact angle (CA...

... of weeds. Surface tension and contact angle were measured under lab conditions. Adjuvants increased the activity of glyphosate by 15–29 % compared to glyphosate alone. Among the weed species, higher mortality was observed in P. maximum and B. pilosa followed by E. crus-galli and lowest in A. theophrasti...
