Detailed Analysis of Determination of Contact Angle Using Sphere Tensiometry
The configurations of the interfacial menisci around a sphere during the pulling process were analyzed and the methods for the simultaneous determination of surface and interfacial tension and contact angle were discussed. Furthermore, a method for the determination of contact angle using sphere tensiometry, which is independent of interfacial tension, was developed and tested with experiments.
