25. i is the surfaee/interfacial tension at surface/interface i. Values for these interracial tensions are given in the Polymer Handbook, 3rd edition (John Wiley and Sons, 1989). The value of 68° at 170 °C is obtained by linearly interpolating between the calculated values of 74° and 58° at 150 °C and 200 °C, respectively.
