Water contact angle measurements can offer several advantages, such as better user independence and traceability, over the water break test.
The word sessile comes from the Latin word sessilis which could be translated as sitting. Sessile droplets can thus be considered as sitting droplet
Quality control is needed to detect any possible problems early on and contract angle measurement provides an excellent tool for that.
A wetting agent is a surface-active molecule used to reduce the surface tension of water.
The effect of Surface roughness and wettability on biocompatibility of biomaterials and Medical devices.
Thomas Young was a physician and his most remarkable discoveries are related to vision and light rather than the behavior of liquids on surfaces
Laser texturing has gained a lot of interest s due to its superior texturing accuracy, good controllability, and suitability for various materials.
Surface free energy can be considered as the surface tension of a solid. Surface free energy is calculated through the contact angle measurements. By knowing the surface free energy of the solid, one can predict the behavior of any liquid on the surface.
Wilhelmy plate method can be used to measure contact angle.
