ACKNOWLEDGMENTS We thank Drs. Peggy Dunlap, Sylvia Birke, Sam Collins, and Carl Brandner of the Mobil Oil Company Research Center for use of their facilities in making contact-angle measurements and their very helpful discussions on the role of wetting in surface phenomena. One of us (F. G.) is a fellow of the Texas Cancer Society. This research was supported by a grant from the USPHS.

N2 - Normal, suspension culture-adapted, and polyoma-transformed baby hamster kidney cells were observed to attach to different substrata according to the wettability of the substrata surfaces. Cells generally attached better to surfaces of glass, polystyrene, stainless steel, aluminum, and polycarbonate than they attached to surfaces of polyethylene, TPX, and polypropylene. Normal cells attached slightly better than transformed cells to some of the surfaces.
