Electrostatics and metal oxide wettability

The wettability of a titania surface, whose surface was partially covered with a strongly based octadecyltrihydrosilane, was studied above and below the isoelectric point (or pHiep). The advancing water contact angle is at a maximum at the pHiep, decreasing symmetrically on either side in a Lippmann...
