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

## methods (26). The Wilhelmy method has been recognized To estimate surface energy of fibrous solids, data on contact to be superior because (1) the balance technique reduces or angles are required. In this study, microsyringes were used to eliminates operator subjectivity, (2) a much larger surf
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). Unlike the previous one-cycle measurements that have been
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 An approach (a combination of techniques) to studying poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) fibers metal‐coated by the sputtering of copper is reported. The effects of copper coatings on the surface morphology, surface chemistry, and surface energy were investigated with atomic force micro
Terpolymer solution-based adhesives of vinyl acetate and acrylates with di †erent long alkyl side chains were prepared by radical polymerization. Dynamic contact angles of the adhesives-coated Ðlms measured by the Wilhelmy plate technique indicated that the reorientation of the adhesive surface vari
