Dear Technos,

Talking about the surface energy as a property of a surface that will get conformal coated, for instance, (as opposed to the surface tension which belongs to the coating material).

From what I've read vacuum bakeout will reduce this surface energy and plasma cleaning will increase it. Where can I get academia on the physics of the surface energy (where it comes from, why plasma cleaning and vacuum bakeout affect it, etc.)?

Thanks,
