About this document
Adhesion and Wetting via Lewis Theory by Gabriel Mendivil is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The Lewis acid-base theory is the best model for predicting adhesion and wetting from laboratory data. It categorizes intermolecular forces as either London dispersion forces (always present) or Lewis acid-base forces (may or may not be present). Acid-base forces contribute most to industrial adhesion. Surface tensions and contact angles can be measured experimentally and related to surface energies via the Lewis acid-base theory, providing guidelines to optimize adhesion between materials.
