answer part bThe data table below shows contact angle measurements recorded using a series of liquids on a polyethylene (PE) substrate.
(a) On graph paper, construct a Zisman plot to graphical estimate the critical surface tension (c) of the PE substrate.
(b) The PE substrate undergoes a surface treatment, and the critical surface tension is now determined to be 18mNm-1. If the contact angle made by bromonaphthalene is measured to be 66, estimate the solid-liquid interfacial tension (sl) of the modified substrate.
\table[[Liquid,Surface tension \gamma (mNm^(-1)),Contact angle (\deg )],[DMSO,44.1,47.6],[Ethylene glycol,48,77.2],[Dilodomethane,50.8,44.1],[Glycerol,63.1,87.2]]
