Wetting layers in electrolyte solutions

2014 When a predominantly nonpolar mixture is in contact with a chemically ionizable substrate, thick wetting layers of a predominantly polar phase can form on the substrate. This paper considers the effects of added salt on such layers. In the limit of low salt concentrations, the equilibrium thickness reduces to a result previously derived by the author. In the limit of high salt concentrations, the thickness reduces to a Debye screening length times a known function of two dimensionless parameters. J. Phys.
