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.

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°.

Assessment and Interpretation of Surface Wettability Based on Sessile Droplet Contact Angle Measurement: Challenges and Opportunities

Advanced Materials Interfaces, 2019
Surface wettability, a property that governs the interaction between the solid and liquid phases, is central in various biological systems and technological applications.

Contact lines with a contact angle

Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2013
AbstractThis work builds on the foundation laid by Benney & Timson (Stud. Appl. Maths, vol. 63, 1980, pp. 93–98), who examined the flow near a contact line and showed that, if the contact angle is $18{0}^{\circ } $, the usual contact-line singularity does not arise.

Contact Angle Saturation in Electrowetting

The Journal of Physical Chemistry B, 2005
Electrowetting is the phenomenon of contact angle decrease under the influence of an external voltage applied across the solid/liquid interface. Electrowetting offers an interesting possibility to enhance the wettability of hydrophobic materials without altering the chemical composition of the system and thus could be incorporated in various ...

Hydrophilicity and Water Contact Angle on Methylammonium Lead Iodide

Advanced Materials Interfaces, 2018
Surface properties are often assessed with measurements of the contact angle of a water drop. The process is however flawed for the very important class of hybrid perovskite materials, extensively employed in solar cells and optoelectronics research ...

Advances in Contact Angle, Wettability and Adhesion

, 2019
Microor nano-textured hydrophobic surfaces have attracted considerable interest due to their highly water-repellent property, and are called superhydrophobic.

Contact angles on particles and plates

Colloids and Surfaces, 1987
Abstract Contact angles on partially methylated quartz plates and particles of known surface coverage have been measured as a function of surface coverage and compared with predictions based on the Cassie equation. Advancing and receding water-contact angles on quartz plates have been determined by the captive-bubble and sessile-drop methods ...

A Theory of the Angle of Contact [PDF]

open access: possibleProceedings of the Physical Society. Section B, 1949
It does not appear to be possible to give a quantitative account of the angle of contact of a continuous liquid in terms of cohesional forces. By using Young's energy relation and making allowance for the effects of adsorbed films on the surface of the solid, expressions are derived for the advancing and receding angles, and a general explanation of ...

Dynamic Contact Angles and Contact Angle Hysteresis of Plasma Polymers

Langmuir, 1994
Dynamic advancing and receding contact angles and the contact angle hysteresis for different plasma polymers deposited on microscope cover glasses were investigated by the Wilhelmy plate method. The hysteresis loops observed by this dynamic method show two major factors: (1) the meniscus change at the transition region; (2) the wettability change of ...
