As-placed contact angle is the contact angle a drop adapts as a result of its placement on a
surface. As expected, the as-placed contact angle, θAP, of a sessile drop on a horizontal
surface decreases with the drop size due to the increase in hydrostatic pressure. We present
a theoretical prediction for θAP which shows that it is a unique function of the advancing
contact angle, θA, drop size, and material properties (surface tensions and densities). We
test our prediction with published and new data. The theory agrees with the experiments …
As-placed contact angle is the contact angle a drop adapts as a result of its placement on a surface. As expected, the as-placed contact angle, θAP, of a sessile drop on a horizontal surface decreases with the drop size due to the increase in hydrostatic pressure. We present a theoretical prediction for θAP which shows that it is a unique function of the advancing contact angle, θA, drop size, and material properties (surface tensions and densities). We test our prediction with published and new data. The theory agrees with the experiments. From the relation of the as-placed contact angle to drop size the thermodynamic equilibrium contact angle is also calculated.
