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 ...

Studying of the Contact Angle Hysteresis on Various Surfaces
MATEC Web of Conferences, 2016 This paper is devoted to investigation of the contact angle hysteresis on various surfaces. It was carried out by two different methods: measuring the advancing and the receding contact angles and measuring the contact angles at water droplet evaporation

The Role of Contact Angle Hysteresis for Fluid Transport in Wet Granular Matter [PDF]
, 2015 The stability of sand castles is determined by the structure of wet granulates. Experimental data about the size distribution of fluid pockets are ambiguous about their origin.

Lattice Boltzmann modeling of contact angle and its hysteresis in two-phase flow with large viscosity difference [PDF]
, 2015 Contact angle hysteresis is an important physical phenomenon omnipresent in nature and various industrial processes, but its effects are not considered in many existing multiphase flow simulations due to modeling complexity.

Water-Repellency and Anisotropic Wettability of Micro-Grooved Polymer Surfaces [PDF]
한국정밀공학회지, 2020 Superhydrophobicity and anisotropic wettability can be simultaneously achieved by simple groove pattern on a surface. To verify those characteristics experimentally, we fabricated the micro-grooved surfaces with four different groove widths.

Plastron induced drag reduction and increased slip on a superhydrophobic sphere [PDF]
, 2011 On low contact angle hysteresis superhydrophobic surfaces, droplets of water roll easily. It is intuitively appealing, but less obvious, that when such material is immersed in water, the liquid will flow more easily across its surface.
