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.

Dynamic contact angles

Journal of Colloid and Interface Science, 1967
Abstract An apparatus and procedure is described for growing a bubble of one fluid with constant radial velocity between parallel solid plates, so displacing a second fluid. The process can be reversed, so that both advancing and receding angles can be studied as a function of the interfacial velocity.

The receding contact angle

Journal of Colloid and Interface Science, 1970
Abstract Receding as well as advancing water contact angles have been measured on glass surfaces treated with dichlorodimethysilane and with chlorotrimethysilane. The experimental data support the theory of contact-angle hysteresis on heterogeneous surfaces as proposed by Dettre and Johnson.

Dynamic contact angles

AIChE Journal, 1982
AbstractThe dynamic contact angles of various liquids on a gelatin‐subbed polyester tape were investigated by plunging a tape into a pool of liquid, in the manner of Perry and of Burley and Kennedy. The effect of the upper fluid was studied by replacing the air normally present by immiscible oils.

The contact angle in capillarity

Physics of Fluids, 2006
In 1805, Thomas Young gave a reasoning to support the view that the contact angle at a solid/liquid/gas interface is a physical constant depending only on the materials, and in no other way on the particular configuration considered. That conclusion has become one of the underpinnings of both classical and modern capillarity theory.

Contact Angles on Spherical Surfaces

Langmuir, 2008
In this paper, we explore the influence of curved surfaces on contact angles. Small liquid drops were deposited at the apex of spheres. Liquid was added to advance the contact line (or withdrawn to cause recession). As drop volume increased, the contact line advanced outward and downward.

A theory of contact angles

Proceedings of the Indian Academy of Sciences - Section A, 1938
A theory of contact angles has been developed. The phenomena at the interface between a solid and a liquid have been discussed on the basis of this theory.

Pressure Dependence of the Contact Angle

The Journal of Physical Chemistry B, 2007
When a liquid and its vapor contact a smooth, homogeneous surface, Gibbsian thermodynamics indicates that the contact angle depends on the pressure at the three-phase line of an isothermal system. When a recently proposed adsorption isotherm for a solid-vapor interface is combined with the equilibrium conditions and the system is assumed to be in a ...

Wettability and Contact Angles

1984
In everyday life one encounters many different systems where it is apparent that various processes take place at the line of contact between a liquid phase and a solid phase. The molecules in the liquid phase can move larger distances than those in the solid phase.

LXXIII. On contact angles

The London, Edinburgh, and Dublin Philosophical Magazine and Journal of Science, 1943
Abstract The theory of a capillary tube method for the determination of a contact angle between a liquid and a solid is considered in detail, and the results of observations on the receding angles made by six different liquids on six different metals and by a number of liquids on glass are reported.
