This tutorial will cover a short review of the physical chemistry of surface tension as well as the requirements for easy-cleanability. The concepts of ultrahydrophobic and ultrahydrophilic easy-to-clean surfaces and concepts for oleophobic surfaces will be dealt with, too. Common test methods of measuring contact angles and surface tensions and other tests to measure easy-cleanability will be approached, followed by a review of easy-to-clean-systems in practice and their limitations.
