✦ Synopsis

Contact angle and hne tension dependence on the curvature of the three-phase contact region has been analysed. It has been found that curvature effects can be neglected when the drop radius is larger than the thickness of the contact regron evcept for smalt contact angles. The contact angle 8 is related to the other capillarity parameters in wetting problems by the well-known Young equation_ Pethica [l] and Boruvka and Neumann [2] have shown that the Young equation must be modified to mclude curvature effects as follows

The contact angle, θ , of a small bubble on a flat solid substrate was measured as a function of bubble radius, R. The observed deviation of the contact angle from 90 • can be accounted for in terms of a negative line tension, τ . The measured values of |τ |/γ f , where γ f is the film tension, rang
