FIG. 4 Dependence of minimal and maximal inflection angle α on H. FIG. 5 Dependence of the contact angle θ on inflection angle α at a given H.

ABSTRACT

This sensitivity subsides as the inflection angle approaches its maximum value at each given H. Nevertheless, at the same time the inflection position moves closer to the threephase contact (TPC) line and coincides with the TPC point as the inflection angle reaches its maximum, which makes the determination of the inflection angle as difficult as the contact angle itself.
