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

β¦ Synopsis
The contribution of viscous friction, slippage, the Marangoni effect, and three-phase contact line resistance is considered in the explanation of contact angle measurements using a dynamic method. It is shown that the viscous friction of the liquid and the specific resistance of the three-phase contact line are the basic dissipative forces governing the rheology, while the slip on the solid-liquid interface is not important for this kind of experiment. Since the method is applied to protein solutions, it is demonstrated that the Marangoni effect of the proteins on the liquid-air surface plays an important role in the right juxtaposition of the theoretical and experimental results. Proper application of the theory allows calculation of both receding and equilibrium contact angles from the dropping time measurements as well as their dependence on the concentration of the protein solutions.

Dynamic cycling contact angle (DCCA) measurements of six liquids from two homologous series (i.e., alkanes and alcohols) on FC-732-coated silicon wafer surfaces were performed using automated axisymmetric drop shape analysis-profile (ADSA-P).

We present an analysis for properly interpreting apparent dynamic contact angles measured using the Wilhelmy plate method at low capillary numbers, Ca. This analysis removes the ambiguity in current dynamic measurements which interpret data with the same formula as static measurements. We properly a
Circular tubings are used extensively in biomedical implants and devices. It is desirable to determine contact angles on the inner or outer surfaces of such tubing in its final fabricated form. In this study, a technique for the measurement of contact angles on tubing surfaces in an aqueous environm
