Comment on]] Spreading of liquid droplets on cylindrical surfaces: Accurate determination of contact angle" [J. Appl. Phys. 70, 493 (1991)]

Abstract

This communication outlines the theory for calculation of contact angle from the shape of a liquid drop adhering to a thin fiber. Particular attention is paid to a recent paper on this subject [H. D. Wagner, J. Appl. Phys. 67, 1352 (1990)], in which an alternative computational procedure is described. Comparison of this and the previously published procedure is made.
