Definition

capability of a solid material to be wetted by a liquid

Examples

• the wettability of powdered cell culture medium during reconstitution; the wettability of granular medium during liquid addition; the wettability of a filter membrane during pre-wetting; the wettability of chromatography resin beads during slurry preparation;

Adapted From

• 1) Being wetted means a liquid spreads over a solid material and maintains contact with it at the solid–liquid interface, rather than beading up into discrete droplets, under the prevailing interfacial conditions. 2)Wettability is realized in liquid–solid contact situations and is influenced by interfacial interactions between the solid and the liquid and by the surrounding phase. The same concept applies to a continuous solid surface and to particulate or granular solids, where the capability is manifested through wetting of the available solid surfaces and, at the bulk level, through penetration of liquid into the material and reduction of persistent dry regions. In practice, contact angles are a common way to operationalize wettability for smooth surfaces, while powders are often characterized through liquid uptake, immersion, or penetration behaviors.

Primitive Class

This class is declared primitive and it does not have necessary and sufficient condiftions defined.

Primitive Rationale

There are insufficient constructs to create a set of necessary and sufficient conditions.

Formal Axioms

First-Order Logic Axioms

Wettability(x) → Capability(x) ∧ ∃m∃s (MaterialEntity(m) ∧ capabilityOf(x, m) ∧ SolidAggregateState(s) ∧ hasQuality(m, s)) ∧ ∀p (hasRealization(x, p) → (Process(p) ∧ ∃l∃ls (MaterialEntity(l) ∧ LiquidAggregateState(ls) ∧ hasQuality(l, ls) ∧ hasParticipantAtSomeTime(p, l))))

Semi-Formal Natural Language Axioms

if x is a ‘wettability’ then x is a ‘capability’ that is the ‘capability of’ some ‘material entity’ that ‘has quality’ some ‘solid aggregate state’, and if x ‘has realization’ some p, then p is a ‘process’ that ‘has participant at some time’ some ‘material entity’ that ‘has quality’ some ‘liquid aggregate state’
