Abstract: | Various factors are discussed which might influence the equilibrium contact angle of nanodroplets placed on a solid substrate.
Special emphasis is put on the possible role of the dependence of the solid-liquid interface tension gSL \gamma^{{{\rm SL}}}_{} on the pressure in the liquid, which in nanodrops considerably exceeds the saturation pressure. We show that certain published
data regarding that dependence are meaningless because these have been deduced based on an inconsistent data analysis. |
