As is well known, nanomaterials science and engineering have become a global research hotspot. When studying surface modification of nanomaterials, the concept of wetting contact angle is often involved. The so-called contact angle refers to the angle formed when a liquid droplet is dropped on a horizontal plane of a solid, and the gas-liquid interface and the two tangent lines of the solid-liquid interface sandwich the liquid phase at the boundary point of the solid liquid gas three-phase on the surface of the solid.
Surface energy is a measure of the chemical bond breaking between molecules when creating a material surface. In solid-state physics theory, surface atoms have more energy than atoms inside a substance. Therefore, according to the principle of minimum energy, atoms will spontaneously tend towards the interior of the substance rather than the surface. Another definition of surface energy is the excess energy on the surface of a material relative to its interior.
The tensile force exerted by the interaction between any two adjacent parts of a liquid surface perpendicular to their unit length boundary. The formation of surface tension is closely related to the special stress state of molecules located within a thin layer of liquid surface. The existence of surface tension forms a series of special phenomena that can be observed in daily life.
