Molecular structure of an alkyl-side-chain polymer-water interface origins of contact angle hysteresis

Molecular structure of an alkyl-side-chain polymer-water interface : origins of contact angle hysteresis

A new and direct approach to verify surface heterogeneity as the microscopic origin of contact-angle hysteresis is demonstrated. IR-visible sum-frequency-generation spectroscopy (SFG) was used to selectively probe the molecules at the interface of an alkyl-side-chain polymer [poly(vinyl n-octadecyl...
