DETERMINATION OF THE CONTACT-ANGLE OF A LIQUID DROPLET ON A CARBON-FIBER
This paper describes an improved method for the accurate determination of the contact angle of a liquid droplet on a monofilament. Theoretically, in this improved method, contact angles do not depend on droplet size or the radius of the fiber. The accuracy of this method is thus expected to be higher than any other standard methods.
