Laplace does not treat systematically the question of interfacial tension, but he gives incidentally in terms of his quantity H a relation analogous to (47).
The problem is to make the sum of the interfacial tensions a minimum, each tension being proportional to the square of the difference of densities of the two contiguous liquids in question.
Good interfacial adhesion is the key to the reliable service performance of durable bonded components.
Work of adhesion values calculated from the surface energetics correlated well with the interfacial shear strength values of the composites.
The computer is able to carry out up to 12 calculations of the interfacial tension per second.
