Determining the 'surface energy' of a material

   

In simple terms, the surface energy of a material is a measure of how easy it is to wet the surface of that material with a liquid. High surface energies are easy to wet out; low surface energies are harder to wet out. The term 'surface energy' is used interchangeably with the terms 'surface free energy' and 'surface tension'.
