Dynamic contact angles and contact angle hysteresis

Journal of Colloid and Interface Science, 1977
Abstract Contact angles have been measured as a function of the three-phase-boundary velocity. Large velocity effects observed with other techniques were not seen using the plate method. It is possible to relate the dependence of contact angles on velocity to surface heterogeneity.

Contact angle measurement and contact angle interpretation

Advances in Colloid and Interface Science, 1999
Recent progress in the correlation of contact angles with solid surface tensions are summarized. The measurements of meaningful contact angles in terms of surface energetics are also discussed. It is shown that the controversy with respect to measurement and interpretation of contact angles are due to the fact that some (or all) of the assumptions made

Contact angles: a note

Journal of Dentistry, 1987
Abstract Determination of contact angle is important to several areas of dentistry, denture retention being one. However, published reports attribute spurious significance to advancing and retreating angles, the distinction between the sources of which is not recognized.

Contact Angles of Pharmaceutical Powders

Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 1977
Contact angles of pharmaceutical powders were determined by measuring the maximum height of a drop of a saturated solution on a presaturated compact of the material. The results for a series of drugs are presented.

Mechanisms for contact angle hysteresis and advancing contact angles

Journal of Petroleum Science and Engineering, 1999
Mixed-wet crude oil/brine/mineral systems typically show a large contact angle hysteresis between the water-receding angle during primary drainage and the water-advancing angle during imbibition. Also, the water-advancing angle may have values that range from 50° to 180°.
