Wettability refers to the ability of a liquid to spread over or adhere to a solid surface.

It
is a measure of the degree of attraction between the molecules of the liquid and the
solid surface. A liquid that spreads easily over a surface is said to have high wettability,
while a liquid that forms droplets or beads on the surface has low wettability.

The wettability of a surface can be quantified by measuring the contact angle formed
between the liquid and the solid surface. The contact angle is the angle formed at the
point where the liquid meets the surface. A smaller contact angle indicates higher
wettability, while a larger contact angle indicates lower wettability.

Wettability is an important property in many applications, such as coatings, adhesives,

and surface treatments. For example, in the field of oil and gas, wettability plays a critical
role in the behavior of fluids in reservoir rocks and the efficiency of oil recovery. In the
field of materials science, wettability is important in the development of new materials
with desired surface properties.
