Theoretical Model of Droplet Wettability on a Low-Surface-Energy Solid under the Influence of Gravity

The wettability of droplets on a low surface energy solid is evaluated experimentally and theoretically. Water-ethanol binary mixture drops of several volumes are used. In the experiment, the droplet radius, height, and contact angle are measured. Analytical equations are derived that incorporate th...
