Question

Physics

Many techniques exist to measure the surface energy between aliquid and a liquid or a liquid and a gas (see e.g. the wikipage).

Methods to measure the surface energy between a solid and afluid are rare, but still there is a method developed by Zisman(see e.g. here) that allows you to at least estimate it byextrapolation for solid/gas or solid/liquid, depending on theenvironment that you use in your experiment

What I wonder: is there a method to measure the surface energybetween two non-elastic solids?

One option I could think of is that you could melt one of thesolids and then use the technique of Zisman, but this will limityour knowledge to high temperature surface energy, whereas the onesat low temperature are the thing you are typically interestedin.

I have done some searching and found out that there is a technique that has been around for roughly 10 years already and it is surprisingly simple if you have the right expensive equipment It can be found in this JCIS    See Answer
