Equilibrium Contact Angle

Equilibrium Contact Angle is the thermodynamically stable angle formed at the intersection of a liquid, solid, and vapor phase when the interfacial tensions are balanced and the system has reached a state of minimum free energy, distinguishing it from transient or dynamic contact angles observed during wetting processes.
