We have studied theoretically the effect of gravity on the rough solid-liquid interface and have shown that its tension is enhanced by gravity when gas is adsorbed at it. As a result, the apparent contact angle on rough surfaces, which has been considered not to be influenced by gravity so far, can

## Experiments with different organic liquids have been conducted to study the drop size dependence of the contact angles on a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) surface of 1-octadecanethiol (HS(CH 2 ) 17 CH 3 ) on gold. Low-rate dynamic advancing contact angles were measured for sessile drops in vapo
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
## 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
