Nanodroplets on rough hydrophilic and hydrophobic surfaces
, 2008 We present results of Molecular Dynamics (MD) calculations on the behavior of liquid nanodroplets on rough hydrophobic and hydrophilic solid surfaces. On hydrophobic surfaces, the contact angle for nanodroplets depends strongly on the root mean square ...

Bubble dynamics atop an oscillating substrate: Interplay of compressibility and contact angle hysteresis [PDF]
, 2011 We consider a sessile hemispherical bubble sitting on the transversally oscillating bottom of a deep liquid layer and focus on the interplay of the compressibility of the bubble and the contact angle hysteresis.

Wetting and Contact-Angle Hysteresis [PDF]
Nature, 1950 THE study of contact angles and contact-angle hysteresis in the region of low contact angles is not easy owing to difficulties of technique. The contact angle, θ, is given by where θ is the contact angle measured in the liquid and γSA, γSL and γLA are the surface free energies per
