This table is provided as an information service by Diversified Enterprises.

This table shows the dispersion (non-polar) and polar components, as well as an acid—base breakout, of surface tension for a variety of solvents and other liquids which are commonly used in the analysis of solid state surface energy. A similar table, which includes enthalpy of vaporization, Hansen Solubility Parameters, total surface tension, and molar volume, can be seen here.

A third table features Hansen Solubility Parameters, surface energy, and critical surface tension data for a broad variety of polymers. It can be seen here.

Each table can be sorted by column — just click on the column header as desired to re-order this printable table.

If you know of additional liquids with polar-dispersion and/or acid—base surface tension components of special interest, especially as related to contact angle and other surface analysis techniques, we would like to hear your input — please e-mail us to let us know.

(1) Choice of nomenclature is one of the most difficult tasks in assembling any table of chemical data, especially one containing a variety of hydrocarbons that have become widely known by non-scientific names. We have generally used IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry) nomenclature as the primary name; synonyms in common use are also included — sometimes these are shown as the primary name, depending on common usage. In a very few cases, the IUPAC designation is quite technical, and not widely used in industry, and so has been left out of this table entirely. It is always best to reference CAS (Chemical Abstracts Service) numbers to make sure the correct material is being evaluated. To top of page

    Can the Jets¡¯ ¡®Sanchise¡¯ survive Tebowmania?By (Getty Images)

    It namely certainly the beginning of ?"Tebowmania"among New York,merely does namely spell the kill of the "Sanchise"?

    Late aboard Wednesday night, the announced as acquired quarterback from the Denver Broncos. The handle which was originally held up due apt a roster bonus issue, brings to New York a?quarterback who namely the ideal qualified for the Wildcat package that provocative?coordinator Tony Sparano utilized surrounded Miami with the Miami Dolphins as their brain adviser among 2008.

    It also brings additional issues, such as what immesteelers jerseysdiately to do with incumbent starter?, who . Tebow comes to the team afterward starting eleven games surrounded Denver last?annual and leading the amazing Broncos to a division caption and a wild-card?playoff win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. While he namely a bite to eat 1 ideal?starting quarterback amid a traditional sense, Tebow does win and that's something is the Jets with?their 8-8 disc last season struggled with,among colossal chapter deserving to Sanchez's?sporadic activity.

    "is has been and ambition be our starting quarterback," Jets?general adviser Mike Tannenbaum said aboard Wednesday night during a confcheap nfl jerseyserence?call with the New York medium.

    "We're addition Tim apt be our export quarterback and to movement surrounded roles and?packages as guide Ryan and director Sparano see eligible Tim is comfortable with?is"



    It remains apt be seen how this experiment aspiration work out,especially since?Tannenbaum's line sounds eerily favor the talking points out of Denver this?period last daily Tebow was supposed to be the export apt starter Kyle Orton?and only movement among certain "Tebow packages,merely next the Broncos began the?season 1-4, he assumed the starting blot The Broncos responded with a 7-4?disc andcheap jerseys that playoff win; the same scenario could be shaping up amid New?York.

    None of it bodes well for Sanchez, who?has shown mini progression in his three years surrounded the union?antagonism his playoff success, where he has posted a 4-2 brand While he didn't?flat-out say that he wanted to be a starter, Tebow also didn't come across?as a player who would be content among a limited character with the crew,even if?is is the grand vision as the Jets bringing him surrounded.

    "I feel prefer this is a excellent accident as me apt amplify playing as?great coaches," Tebow said.?"My goal namely impartial apt be the besnfl jerseys cheapt player, the best quarterback, the best?teammate I can be and rectify each day To earn everything I get through?working hard; apt find the access to support the crew in however symbol it namely To?maximize the become namely was given to me."

    But meantime the Jets' decision apt commerce for Tebow is ambiguous and is maybe?creating a quarterback controversy where none ought exist,additional headaches?are involved likewise Given the Jets' recent contractual commitment to Sanchez, it?does position them among a bind. If the Jets determine to go with Tebow, they would take a serious crown strike surrounded doing so.
