Abstract

It has been demonstrated experimentally that roughness changes contact angle (CA) in accordance with the Wenzel model or the Cassie-Baxter model, depending upon whether the surface is hydrophilic or hydrophobic (Bhushan and Jung, Prog. Mater. Sci. 56:1–108, 2011). Yost et al. (Acta Metall. Mater. 45:299–305, 1995) found that roughness enhances wetting of a copper surface with Sn-Pb eutectic solder, which has a contact angle of 15–20° for a smooth surface. Shibuichi et al. (J. Phys. Chem., 100, 19512–19517, 1996) measured the contact angle of various liquids (mixtures of water and 1,4-dioxane) on alkylketene dimmer (AKD) substrate (contact angle not larger than 109° for a smooth surface).
