Wetting Transitions

Wetting Transitions is a surface phase transition that describes the discontinuous change in the macroscopic wetting behavior of a liquid droplet on a solid substrate, distinguished by a sudden alteration in the contact angle due to molecular-scale interactions and external control parameters such as temperature, pressure, or surface chemistry.
