Three-phase Contact Lines

Three-Phase Contact Lines is a singular interfacial thermodynamic construct that denotes the one-dimensional locus where three immiscible phases—typically solid, liquid, and gas—coexist and mutually intersect, distinguished by its role in governing capillary phenomena, wetting behavior, and interfacial forces at phase boundaries.
