Observing a wetting transition of water on graphite
公开Water does not wet on the graphite surface at room temperature, but a prediction states that there should be a transition to complete wetting at an elevated temperature. Our goal is to experimentally observe a wetting transition of water on graphite and determine the wetting temperature. The result is that we observed a partial wetting transition near 325K, but we did not observe a transition to complete wetting up to 500K. Further future work is still necessary.
