Surface science

the surface tension below which liquids spread completely on a given solid, found by extrapolating contact angles of a series of liquids.

In surface science, critical surface tension refers to the surface tension below which liquids spread completely on a given solid, found by extrapolating contact angles of a series of liquids. This meaning comes from Fox (1950) in Journal of Colloid Science.[1]
