From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
if contact angle θ = 180°, liquid does not wet solid substrate
if contact angle θ = 0°, liquid perfectly wets the solid substrate and spreading occurs
if contact angle 0° < θ < 180°, liquid-substrate interface formed, liquid partially wets solid surface
where:
= height of capillary rise
= surface tension
= radius of the capillary
= density of liquid
= gravitational acceleration
