Progress in understanding wetting transitions on rough surfaces
E Bormashenko - Advances in colloid and interface science, 2015 - Elsevier
The abrupt change in the apparent contact angle occurring on a rough surface is called
wetting transition. This change may be spontaneous or promoted by external stimuli such as …
