Wetting, surface tension, and work of adhesion of AsS and AsSe glass melts to quartz glass.

The contact angles of the quartz glass surface by the AsS and AsSe glass melts and surface tension of these glass melts in the temperature range of 325-370°С have been experimentally measured. The polytherms are linear and possess negative slope in the mentioned temperature range. The work of the adhesion of AsS and AsSe glass melts to the quartz glass surface has been calculated and compared to the data on the adhesion strength of the AsS-SiO and AsSe-SiO boundaries of the solid phases.
