... by spreading method. The surface free energy changes calculated by Lifshitz–van der Waals/acid–base and contact angle hysteresis measurement are consistent with the changes in surface roughness obtained by optical profilometry. The films prepared by both methods were relatively stable in water. PBS and SBF...
