Abstract
Interfacial phenomena associated with the surfaces of liquids are well unde rstood in terms of surface tension and adsorption from solution. Those that relate to surfaces of solids are not, and have been treated at a different level of quantification. An approach based on the Gibbs equation is shown to yield a rigorous unified treatment of phenomena in wetting transitions a nd surface forces not encompassed by the DLVO theory.
