The contact angle Θ measured on rough, absorbing substrates is known to decrease with
proceeding imbibition of the drop. We demonstrate that the impact of three absorption …

Hypothesis: Quantitative characterization of surface wettability through contact angle (CA)
measurement using the sessile droplet (SD) or captive bubble (CB) methods is often limited …

This paper presents a novel approach to measuring contact angles. The Axisymmetric Drop
Shape Analysis-Contact Diameter (ADSA-CD) approach determines the contact angle by …

Sessile-drop and captive-bubble techniques were used for contact angle measurements.
The advancing and receding contact angles were measured for water and ethylene glycol at …

The wetted area of a sessile droplet on a practical substrate is limited by the three-phase
contact line and characterized by contact angle, contact radius and drop height. Although …

The current broad interest in wetting characterization of solid surfaces is driven by recent
advances in the formulation of surfaces and coatings that are superhydrophobic …

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 …

Various solid surfaces (eg, smooth titanium surface, smooth aluminum surface, polished
copper surfaces, polished silver surfaces and porous copper surfaces) were prepared to …

A sessile drop is an isolated drop which has been deposited on a solid substrate where the
wetted area is limited by the three-phase contact line and characterized by contact angle …

The most widely used method to quantify the wetting properties of surfaces is by measuring
contact angles. Even though contact angle goniometry is a powerful technique for …
