Contact angle measurements: From existing methods to an open-source tool.

Advances in Colloid and Interface Science, 2021
Contact angle measurement is an effective way to investigate solid surface properties. The introduction of low-cost digital cameras, as well as software and libraries for image analysis, has made contact angle measurement potentially accessible to every ...

Temperature dependence of the contact angle of water: A review of research progress, theoretical understanding, and implications for boiling heat transfer.

Advances in Colloid and Interface Science, 2020
Contact angle, a quantitative measure of macroscopic surface wettability, plays an important role in understanding liquid-vapor heterogeneous phase change phenomena, e.g., boiling heat transfer. The contact angles of water at elevated temperatures are of

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 angle equilibrium: the intrinsic contact angle

Journal of Adhesion Science and Technology, 1992
The conceptual and mathematical difficulties associated with contact angle equilibrium are reviewed and analyzed. The main discussion is centered around the theory of the intrinsic contact angle and its dependence on the three-phase mutual interactions in the vicinity of the contact line.

Contact angles

Physics of Fluids A: Fluid Dynamics, 1992
Young [Philos. Trans. (1805)] derived an equation for the contact angle between a liquid–gas interface and a solid boundary, but doubts have been raised about its validity. This issue is reexamined on the basis of a new integral equation for the interface [J. B. Keller and G. J. Merchant, J. Stat. Phys. 63, 1039 (1991)].

Contact angle hysteresis of a water droplet on a hydrophobic fuel cell surface.

Journal of Colloid and Interface Science, 2019
The contact angle hysteresis is an important parameter influencing the micro-size droplet wetting on the solid surface. In this study, a theoretical method for calculating the contact angle hysteresis of a moving water droplet on the gas diffusion layer (
