General contact-angle conditions with and without kinetics Sigurd B. Angenent Morton E. Gurtin 10.1184/R1/6477512.v1 https://kilthub.cmu.edu/articles/journal_contribution/General_contact-angle_conditions_with_and_without_kinetics/6477512 Abstract: "The classical condition for the contact angle of a phase interface at a container wall is generalized to include both anisotropy and kinetics. The derivation, which does not involve an assumption of local equilibrium, is based on a capillary force balance, a dissipation inequality representing the second law, and suitable constitutive assumptions." 1993-01-01 00:00:00 Contact angle.
