Contact angle data and adhesive performance for smooth surfaces with attached molecular chains

Abstract
Contact angle data were obtained for fiber surfaces to which molecular chains had been attached. The chains, tethered at one end and otherwise free to move, affected contact angle values and adhesive performance differently, so that contact angle data did not serve as an indicator of adhesive performance. However, the differences themselves hold a great deal of information, allowing contact angle data to be used along with adhesive performance data to obtain information about chain conformation at interfaces.
