Abstract
The contact angles or wettability of 7 Ionic Liquids, on an alumina substrate, have been measured under two different storage conditions. The first using a small amount of moisture content, the second with no moisture content. The contact angle of Ionic Liquid droplets on an alumina substrate were measured using an Attension Theta instrument with automated software. The results show that a small amount of moisture improves the wettability of the Ionic Liquid – alumina system and therefore subsequent uses of these liquids with alumina should take this into consideration.
