Surface texture could explain the measured wetting angle
Explore how surface chemistry and texture affect whether a drop spreads or stays suspended.
RESULT AND LIMITS
The texture model approaches the disclosed contact angle, but the wetting state remains unobserved.
The measurement was already known. The proposed wetting state remains unobserved, so this is an explanation to test rather than an independent prediction.
