can exhibit unusually large hysteresis, an additional factor Wetting experiments were performed to determine how contact may influence the contact angles. The vertical component angles and their hysteresis change with the mechanical properties of the liquid surface tension can deform the underlying
The wetting behavior of a series of aliphatic polyamides (PAs) has been examined. PAs with varying amide content and polyethylene (PE) were molded against glass to produce surfaces with similar roughness. After cleaning, chemical composition of the surfaces was verified with X-ray photoelectron spec
A model according to which contact-angle hysteresis arises as the result of a random distribution of irregularities on the solid surface is investigated on the basis of probability theory. An estimate is obtained of the mathematical expectation of the number of stable equilibria when the effective a
