  2. Contact angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_angle

    The advancing contact angle can be described as a measure of the liquid-solid cohesion while the receding contact angle is a measure of liquid-solid adhesion. The advancing and receding contact angles can be measured directly using different methods and can also be calculated from other wetting measurements such as force tensiometry (aka ...

  3. Wetting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wetting

    Thus, the contact angle provides an inverse measure of wettability. [7] [8] A contact angle less than 90° (low contact angle) usually indicates that wetting of the surface is very favorable, and the fluid will spread over a large area of the surface.

  4. Zisman Plot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zisman_Plot

    Taking the cosine of said angle and then graphing it against the surface tension of the liquid wetting the solid substrate yields the critical surface tension. Wettability is a measure of how well a liquid spreads and how complete the contact of the liquid is across the surface of a solid interface.

  5. Sessile drop technique - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sessile_drop_technique

    In the top picture, the volume of the drop is being increased, and in the bottom it is being decreased. Each notated angle is an instance of a similar contact angle. The simplest way of measuring the contact angle of a sessile drop is with a contact angle goniometer, which allows the user to measure the contact angle visually. A droplet is ...

  6. Capillary pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capillary_pressure

    The wetting phase is identified by its ability to preferentially diffuse across the capillary walls before the non-wetting phase. The "wettability" of a fluid depends on its surface tension, the forces that drive a fluid's tendency to take up the minimal amount of space possible, and it is determined by the contact angle of the fluid. [ 1 ]

  7. Capillary flow porometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capillary_flow_porometry

    Capillary flow porometry permits obtaining several parameters and information in one individual and fast measurement. In general, a measurement with the wet sample (impregnated with wetting liquid) is carried out first. It is normally known as the "wet run" and the representation of the gas flow vs. the applied pressure is the so-called "wet ...

  8. Captive bubble method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captive_bubble_method

    The captive bubble method is a method for measuring the contact angle between a liquid and a solid, by using drop shape analysis. [1] In this method, a bubble of air is injected beneath a solid, the surface of which is located in the liquid, instead of placing a drop on the solid as in the case of the sessile drop technique.

  9. Ideal surface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ideal_surface

    The consequence of this restriction is the prediction of complete wetting when γ SG > γ SL + γ LG and zero wetting when γ SL > γ SG + γ LG. The lack of a solution to the Young–Dupré equation is an indicator that there is no equilibrium configuration with a contact angle between 0 and 180° for those situations.
