Yi. Tarasevich, THERMODYNAMIC PROPERTIES OF THE SURFACE OF GRAPHITIZED THERMAL CARBON-BLACK FROM IMMERSION AND CONTACT WETTING DATA, Colloid journal of the Russian Academy of Sciences, 54(4), 1992, pp. 603-605
The surface pressure, pi, of a film of water adsorbed on the surface o
f graphitized, thermal carbon black (GTCB) is calculated from the heat
s and angles of wetting. The resulting value of pi is used to evaluate
the surface enthalpy and entropy of GTCB and graphite. The molecular
theory of wetting is shown to be applicable to the GTCB (graphite)-wat
er system.
