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

Assessment of the wettability of powders is known to be problematic. It is known that the use of sessile drops on liquid saturated powder compacts can tend to underestimate the value of contact angle. The use of compacted plates of powder in a Wilhelmy plate experiment allows the calculation of a co
## Abstract __Ternary mixtures of a highβmelting lipid, a lowβmelting lipid, and cholesterol are known to form domains of a liquidβordered and a liquidβdisordered phase in bilayer membranes. We prepare giant vesicles from a sphingomyelin/dioleoylphosphocholine/cholesterol mixture and then examine t
