Variations in wettability on heat-treated wood surfaces: Contact angles and surface free energy

The contact angles for Pinus (Pinus taeda), Erisma (Erisma uncinatum), Araucaria (Araucaria angustifolia) and Hymenaea (Hymenaea stilbocarpa) woods were obtained using four test liquids (water, diiodomethane, formamide, and ethylene glycol). The values of surface free energy were calculated for the...
