... surface. Once the drop detaches the pipette, it wets the coated surface instantly, and a contact angle is formed. These steady-state analyses will help to understand the hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties of the coated surfaces. The surface analysis of Ni-Co pulse electrodeposited coating...

...Said Jahanmir; Andrew Z. Hunsberger; Hooshang Heshmat Hydrogenated diamondlike carbon (H-DLC) coatings provide excellent wear resistance and low friction for bearing applications. However, the use of such coatings with aqueous lubricants could pose some difficulties due to the hydrophobic nature...
