Wetability at the solid/liquid interface, its dynamics, tunability, the infuence of operating parameters, surface and interfacial phenomena play an increasingly signifcant role in a wide variety of applications, for example, material processing, nanotechnology, oil recovery, oil spills, chemical leaching, water management, and disease transmission. Although a mature feld, it is experiencing dramatic developments on several fronts with emerging applications in new felds. Tis book presents a collection of eight chapters on nanoscale weting phenomena, oil extraction from reservoir rocks, the role of coatings, particle morphology, surface roughness and viscosity in metal processing, and practical applications of superhydrophobic behaviour in cell culturing, isolation, anti-icing, anti-refective and anti-corrosion coatings in the transportation and optical devices felds.
