The peaks for contactangles and plateaus for baseline length were observed accordingly.The average range <strong>of</strong> advancing contact angle measurements forall diamond surfaces was between 70°-89°; the range <strong>of</strong> advancingbaseline lengths averaged between 3.8-5.2mm. The averagestandard error for advancing contact angles was around ± .394,and the average standard error for advancing baseline lengthswas around ± .002. The average range between receding contactangle measurements for all diamond surfaces was between 22°-66°; the range <strong>of</strong> receding baseline lengths averaged between 4.4-4.28mm. The average standard error for receding contact anglemeasurements was around ± 2.95, and the average standard errorfor receding contact angle measurements was around ± .14. Therange for static contact angle measurements for all diamond surfaceswas between 71°-90°. The range <strong>of</strong> contact angle hysteresisfor all diamond surfaces was quite large, between 8°-74°. Therange <strong>of</strong> grain density for all diamond surfaces was between 7-15μm -2 ; the range for roughness was between 5.2-41nm.The grain density and roughness were inadvertently omittedfor all the polycrystalline samples except one, surface sd1u,which had a roughness <strong>of</strong> sample recording <strong>of</strong> 5.2 nm sans a graindensity recording.RESULTS/CONCLUSIONSurface sd1u, as shown above, had the lowest recorded measurementfor roughness; it also had the lowest recorded measurementout <strong>of</strong> all the surfaces for contact angle hysteresis (8°).
