Surface Energy

Surface energy is the energy associated with the surfaces of materials. It is the energy required to create a new surface or surface area, or to break an existing surface apart. Surface energy is important in many areas of science and engineering, such as adhesion and wettability. In particular, it is a key factor in the design and manufacture of products from polymers, adhesives, and coatings. surface energy significantly affects the physical and chemical properties of materials, as well as their performance in applications. This make it a widely used tool for predicting and controlling the performance of materials.
