Domain-specific¶
- Wettability
- The operative measurement is the contact angle (θ) that the liquid-vapor interface makes with the solid at the three-phase contact line: a low contact angle (below 90°) indicates that adhesion to the solid dominates and the liquid spreads (hydrophilic, oleophilic), while a high contact angle (above 90°, reaching above 150° for superhydrophobic surfaces) indicates that cohesion within the liquid dominates and the liquid beads into a near-spherical droplet and retreats
This sourceContact angle as the measure of wetting, with the 90 degree adhesion/cohesion divide and the above-150 degree superhydrophobic range. Young's equation relating contact angle to the three interfacial tensions, and wetting as the free-energy-minimising equilibrium geometry.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
