Contact Angle

Contact Angle is a geometric and thermodynamic parameter defined as the angle between the tangent to the liquid–fluid interface and the tangent to the solid–liquid interface at their three-phase contact line, characterizing the wettability and surface free-energy balance of a solid by a given liquid.
