4. Coating Experiments Advantages: Flow is steady making experimental analysis more tractable. Parameter space is easier to map: Speeds over 6 orders Viscosities over 3 orders Liquid GasSolid The ‘apparent angle’

5. Coating Results Apparent angle measured at resolution of 20microns for water-glycerol solutions with μ=1, 10, 100 mPas. Increasing μ

6. You only observe the ‘apparent angle’. The actual one is fixed. Free surface bends below the experiment’s resolution (20μm) Interpretation A: Static Contact Angle The ‘actual angle’

7. Dynamics of angle cause change in apparent angle Dynamic contact angle is a function of speed Interpretation B: Dynamic Contact Angle
