Terminology question - I understood those to be "high-energy" surfaces, because the chains are strongly bound. Is it a typo, or am I wrong?

It is really called low energy, it refers to the low attractive force of the surface, liquids bead up and do not wetten, in epoxy that results in small contact area and a weak bond, on a high surface energy material it flows into all the crannies and has enormous contact area and a strong bond.
