    Comparison of contact angle measurements on superhydrophobic surfaces

    Advancing and receding angles should be measured as the low contact angle hysteresis is also a requirement for superhydrophobicity.

    Rheology: What is the difference between bulk and interfacial rheology?

    Rheology studies the flow and deformation of the fluid. Interfacial rheology studies the same for interfacial layers.

    Enhanced oil recovery: Why measure wettability at high pressures and temperatures?

    Studies show the influence of EOR agents on the reservoir rock wettability. Studies are not considering the reservoir conditions i.e. high pressure.

    What are superhydrophobic surfaces?

    Superhydrophobic surface is defined by having the static water contact angle above 150 ° and contact angle hysteresis less than 5 °.

    Contact angle measurements on superhydrophobic surfaces in practice

    There are three contact angle measurement methods for superhydrophobic surfaces; static, advancing/receding and roll-off angle.
