The wetting properties of liquids against a solid surface are important for many adhesion purposes. A vast amount of knowledge on the statics of wetting has been collected by Zisman and his co-workers(1) mainly for the case of partial wetting, where contact angles can be measured, and related to interfacial energies. Situations of complete wetting are equally important, but have suffered from a certain lack of experimental information since there is no macroscopic angle to be measured.
