Abstract

Although seemingly precluding the existence of each other the two methods pertaining to the wetting behavior of drops on surfaces are reconciled here. One method traces back to the concept of line energy, whereas the other is based on force equations derived by Furmidge and Dussan. Using the later-developed Shanahan-de Gennes method from theory and experimental data, these two approaches are brought into agreement.
