There have been many experiments that have determined the wetting behavior of liquids on low-energy solid surfaces. These experiments show that, in general, the contact angle, theta, measured through the liquid, increases with increasing liquid-vapor surface tension, sigmalv. Surprisingly, in experi

## Abstract With the introduction of an additional interfacial tension (or hysteresis tension) to describe the effect of the surficial roughness on the liquidβsolid contact angle hysteresis, both contact angle and its hysteresis were derived from mechanical equilibrium and were perfectly consistent
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
An experimental investigation was conducted to understand the effect of solid properties on dynamic wetting. Using a liquid tank method, the wetting behavior of silicone oil over glass, aluminum, and stainless steel surfaces was measured. For all three surfaces, the dynamic contact angles disagreed
## Abstract Contact angle studies have been carried out on plasma protein layers adsorbed on selected polymer surfaces under buffered saline at 37Β°, in an attempt to demonstrate directly a recent suggestion that the interfacial free energy between such protein layers and surrounding liquid phase sh
