Equilibrium contact angle or the most-stable contact angle?
FJM Ruiz-Cabello, MA Rodríguez-Valverde… - Advances in colloid and …, 2014 - Elsevier
It is well-established that the equilibrium contact angle in a thermodynamic framework is an
“unattainable” contact angle. Instead, the most-stable contact angle obtained from …
