—The work of adhesion, Wa, interfacial tension, g12, and wettability envelopes for steel/ ethylene mercaptoester (EME) copolymer coupling agent/epoxy systems were calculated as a function of the EME mercaptoester concentration, using experimentally determined surface tension values from contact angle measurements. The thermodynamic parameters were compared with observed adhesion and corrosion protection results. Relationships between the EME/epoxy Wa values and dry adhesion strength, and the EME/steel Wa,L (in the presence of liquid) values and corrosion protection are discussed.
