Theoretical Analysis of Contact Angle and Contact Angle Hysteresis of Wenzel Drops on Superhydrophobic Surfaces. [PDF]
Although understanding the wetting behavior of solid surfaces is crucial for numerous engineering applications, the mechanisms driving the motion of Wenzel drops on rough surfaces remain incompletely clarified.

Contact angle and stability of interfacial nanobubble supported by gas monolayer. [PDF]
Since solid-liquid interfacial nanobubbles (INBs) were first imaged, their long-term stability and large contact angle have been perplexing scientists. This study aimed to investigate the influence of internal gas density and external gas monolayers on ...

Water-Repellency and Anisotropic Wettability of Micro-Grooved Polymer Surfaces [PDF]
Superhydrophobicity and anisotropic wettability can be simultaneously achieved by simple groove pattern on a surface. To verify those characteristics experimentally, we fabricated the micro-grooved surfaces with four different groove widths.

Imaging iridotrabecular contact in angle closure
Background: With ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM), radial scans are taken by using a typical ciliary process, to show the details of the iridocorneal angle, the anterior surface of the ciliary body, and its relation to the posterior iris.

Effect of contact angle hysteresis on measuring matric suction in unsaturated sandy soil
The contact angle plays an important role in matric suction of unsaturated soils, but few studies consider the effect of contact angle hysteresis on matric suction. In this paper, taking sandy soil as an example, the influence of contact angle hysteresis

On the Dynamic Contact Angle in Capillary Flows [PDF]
The displacement of the contact line (CL) between two arbitrary immiscible flowing fluids was modeled. The present model is valid for a wide range of viscosity ratios of the phases. This is while the previously developed models reported in the literature
