Effect of contact angle hysteresis on measuring matric suction in unsaturated sandy soil
Geomatics, Natural Hazards & Risk, 2023 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

The Possibility of Changing the Wettability of Material Surface by Adjusting Gravity
Research, 2020 The contact angle, as a vital measured parameter of wettability of material surface, has long been in dispute whether it is affected by gravity. Herein, we measured the advancing and receding contact angles on extremely low contact angle hysteresis ...

Measuring Surface Tensions of Soft Solids with Huge Contact-Angle Hysteresis
Physical Review X, 2021 The equilibrium contact angle of a droplet resting on a solid substrate can reveal essential properties of the solid’s surface. However, when the motion of a droplet on a surface shows significant hysteresis, it is generally accepted that the solid’s ...

Development of a Contact Force Model Suited for Spherical Contact Event
Actuators, 2023 The stiffness coefficient suited for a spherical contact body is developed by means of a contact semi-angle based on Steuermann’s theory. The new static contact force model is close to the results of FEM when the index of the polynomial is equal to 2 ...

Observation of contact angle hysteresis due to inhomogeneous electric fields
Communications Physics, 2021 Wetting of surfaces can be affected by surface roughness, presence of surface chemical defects, or by electric fields. Here, the authors perform electrowetting experiments on microstriped electrodes and show that the droplet’s static contact angle ...
