Flashcards

Hydrophilic material

A material's tendency to attract water. This is observed when a water droplet forms a small contact angle on the surface.

Hydrophobic material

A material's tendency to repel water. This is observed when a water droplet forms a large contact angle on the surface.

Contact Angle

The angle formed between a liquid droplet and a solid surface. A smaller angle indicates better wetting ability and stronger adhesion.

Beta hemihydrate

A crystalline form of calcium sulfate hemihydrate. It's the primary component of Type II gypsum product.

Model Plaster (Type II)

A type of gypsum product that is less strong and expands more than other types. It's mainly used for creating molds or making less critical models.

Study Notes

Contact Angle Significance

  • A low contact angle between a solid and a drop of water indicates good wettability.
  • Good wettability typically correlates with strong adhesion properties.

Gypsum Product Types

  • Principal constituent of Gypsum Product Type II is calcium sulfate hemihydrate.
  • Type I gypsum product also primarily consists of calcium sulfate hemihydrate but with different processing.

Common Names of Gypsum Products

  • The type of gypsum product associated with the common name 'model plaster' is Type III gypsum.
  • 'Die stone' refers to the Type IV gypsum product, known for its high strength and precision.

Adhesion Facilitation

  • Areas of low contact angles on a graph typically represent conditions of good adhesion.
  • A rough surface texture improves mechanical interlocking and adhesive bonding.
