The purpose of this research was to determine surface free energy and contact angle of hydrolyzed shellac by using sessile drop technique. It is a method for determination of contact angle by placing a drop of liquid on a substrate and the surface free energy is then calculated by using the Wus equation. The substrate in this study was the hydrolyzed shellac prepared by hydrolysis of the native shellac at various times; 0, 15, 30 and 45 min using 2.0 %w/w sodium hydroxide. Water, formamide and ethylene glycol were liquids used for the investigation of the contact angle and surface free energy. The effect of hydrolysis time tended to reduce the contact angle and increase in the total surface free energy and polar force of hydrolyzed shellac. The result could be due to the breaking of the ester bonds of shellac during the hydrolysis process causing the higher free carboxyl group giving the higher polar group indicating by higher polar force and surface free energy. Therefore, the contact angle and surface free energy detected by sessile drop technique could be of benefit for the determination of hydrolysis process.

The effects ofBaSO4additions on the wetting of alumina by molten aluminum were studied by the sessile drop technique. To study the effect ofBaSO4decomposition(1100–1150∘C), the additions were treated at two temperatures700∘C(973 K) and1450∘C(1723 K), respectively.BaSO4additions at low and high temperatures did not improve the nonwetting character of these compositions. However, at higher firing temperature, the formation ofBA6 (BaO•6Al2O3)has a nonwetting trend with increasing its content. To address theBA6specifically a pureBaO•6Al2O3was produced and tested. It was more nonwetting than the pure alumina. After the analysis of the contact angles for theBaSO4and theBA6 (BaO•6Al2O3), it was concluded that these additions to alumina do not inhibit wetting by molten aluminum. In fact, at the addition levels common for refractories, the wetting tendency of molten aluminum is enhanced. Alternative explanations for the effectiveness ofBaSO4additions to alumina refractories are discussed.

The wetting and spreading of molten Cu, Ag and Ag-28Cu (wt.%) on the WC-Co cemented carbide were investigated by the sessile drop technique at different temperatures, and the interfacial behaviors of the metal/WC-Co couples were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) coupled with energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The experimental results showed that the testing temperature and the composition of drop can play a key role in the wetting and spreading, and the good wettability with contact angle of less than 40o can be obtained. Moreover, the strongest interactions can be produced between the molten Cu and the WC-Co substrate at the higher temperature of 1100 oC due to the strong interdiffusion and solid solution between Cu and Co, resulting in the lowest equilibrium contact angle of ~0o. In addition, smooth and clean interfaces, without formation of visible interfacial reaction layer, were observed in all the three wetting systems. This work may also provide guidance to brazing of the cemented carbide.
