    Abstract

    The nonpolar parameter of solid surface free energy gamma(s)(d) has been determined for some pharmaceutical powders by means of contact angle measurement (Wilhelmy plate method) and inverse phase gas chromatography (IGC). For most samples, a good correlation between the results of the two methods was found. Additionally it was found that to get comparable results with the IGC method, contact angles obtained with totally nonpolar liquid should be used for calculating gamma(s)(d). Comparison of our results with those from the literature showed that the correlation depends on the method used for contact angle determination and the properties of the liquids used for contact angle measurements.
