Equilibrium contact angle or the most-stable contact angle?
Advances in Colloid and Interface Science, 2014It is well-established that the equilibrium contact angle in a thermodynamic framework is an "unattainable" contact angle. Instead, the most-stable contact angle obtained from mechanical stimuli of the system is indeed experimentally accessible. Monitoring the susceptibility of a sessile drop to a mechanical stimulus enables to identify the most stable

Contact angle hysteresis of a water droplet on a hydrophobic fuel cell surface
Journal of Colloid and Interface Science, 2019The 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 (

Contact Angle Hysteresis Explained
Langmuir, 2006A view of contact angle hysteresis from the perspectives of the three-phase contact line and of the kinetics of contact line motion is given. Arguments are made that advancing and receding are discrete events that have different activation energies. That hysteresis can be quantified as an activation energy by the changes in interfacial area is argued ...

Thin-film composite (TFC) membranes are the most widely used membranes for low-cost and energy-efficient water desalination processes. Proper control over the three influential surface parameters, namely wettability, roughness, and surface charge, is ...

Dynamic contact angles and contact angle hysteresis
Journal of Colloid and Interface Science, 1977Abstract 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.

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, 1977Contact 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.
