Contact angle measurement is a valuable tool for analyzing surface properties, including structure, cleanliness, and solid–liquid interactions. Typically, this performed at the static state, capturing interactions interface when gas, liquid, solid phases reach equilibrium. In study, we developed user-friendly setup accurately measuring dynamic contact angles using needle-in-drop method. Our consists of syringe controlled liquid dispensing withdrawal on surface, sample stage with scale bar...
Hypothesis: Understanding the microscopic driving force of water wetting is challenging and important for design materials, relations between structure, dynamics hydrogen bonds interfacial can be investigated using molecular simulations. Experiments simulations: Contact angles at alumina (0001) ($11\overline{2}0$) surfaces are studied both classical simulations experiments. To test superhydrophilicity, free energy cost removing waters near interfaces calculated density fluctuations method....
