characterize clay wettability.

Solids which are partially hydrophobic with contact angle θ > 90o (measured
through the water) can also act as emulsifiers to make water-in-oil emulsions
more stable. Figure 2.9 [35] shows the wettability of solids and the types of
emulsions formed by the effect of solids wettability.

For hydrophilic solids, the contact angle is smaller than 90o. The surface of
solids is water-wet and the solids tend to stay in water phase. On the contrary, for
