swobodna energia powierzchniowa

On the other hand, the crack increases the total surface energy of the specimen.

It states the surface energy is the sum of each component's forces:

Although the dimensions of all the parts are the same, each has a surface energy of its own.

Liquids tend, if they can, to minimize their surface energy.

The following table gives some common metals and their corresponding surface energies.

If you have a material with very lower surface energy, water will ball up on it more.

From room temperature to 150 C no important interface reactions occur and the surface energy is stable.

Hydrophilicity is indicated by smaller contact angles and higher surface energy.

The surface energy of a solid is usually measured at high temperatures.

Calculation of surface energy from first principles is an alternative approach to measurement.
