Abstract: The possibilities of contact angle measurements of liquids at the solid surfaces under the different conditions for prediction of the most perspective directions of polymer application for individual and composite materials creation are considered. The surface free energy values at the «solid-gas» and «solid-liquid» interfaces as parameters of such prediction are exhibited. The correlation of the dispersive component of polymer surface energy with its free volume is founded. The new approach to estimation and comparison of the intensity of polymer adhesion to inorganic substrates is proposed and experimentally proved by measurements of tensile strength of corresponding composite materials. The possibility of alteration of «polymer-liquid» interfacial energy with surfactant mixed adsorption layers is demonstrated.
Keywords: contact angle, wetting, adhesion, blood compatibility, free volume, composite materials
