terms:water_wet
Hydrophilic. A solid surface is water wet when the adhesive attraction of water molecules for the solid substance is greater than the attraction between water molecules. The angle of contact of a water droplet on a water-wet solid surface will be less than 90° (measured inside the water phase). A mobile nonwetting oil phase would advance over the adhesive layer of water.
