Abstract [en]

Various solid surfaces (e.g., smooth titanium surface, smooth aluminum surface, polished copper surfaces, polished silver surfaces and porous copper surfaces) were prepared to quantify the reliability of half-angle algorithm and axisymmetric drop shape analysis (ADSA) algorithm for calculating contact angles. Besides, the effects of surface conditions on contact angle values were also investigated. The experimental results of 10 repeated tests for each surface show that both algorithms have good accuracy for an acute contact angle, while the ADSA algorithm is better than the half-angle algorithm for an obtuse contact angle. Furthermore, with the decrease of surface roughness, the contact angle increases but the standard deviation of contact angles by 10 repeated tests decreases. In addition, the porous layer on copper surface by electrochemical deposition shows a super hydrophilic property, but it could change to be super hydrophobic after exposed in ambient air for 24 h. Interestingly, the surface wettability reverses to be super hydrophilic again after it is immersed in water, and the inorganic contamination is the reason of formal change from the super hydrophilic status to the super hydrophobic status.
