ABSTRACT
Basing on recent works we discuss the issue relating wetting and hydrophilicity pointing out the topics enabling a fast progress in this area. Wetting is a phenomenon that is still the subject of intensive studies, both pure and applied. However, precise definitions of its molecular basis are still lacking and the static and dynamic macroscopic parameters should also be defined. An important role seems to be played by profound investigation on relaxation times of the primary elemental steps of the joined chemical and mechanical processes
