Surface texture could explain the measured wetting angle

Edited research brief

Explore how surface chemistry and texture affect whether a drop spreads or stays suspended.

RESULT AND LIMITS

The texture model approaches the disclosed contact angle, but the wetting state remains unobserved.

The measurement was already known. The proposed wetting state remains unobserved, so this is an explanation to test rather than an independent prediction.

WHAT TO CHECK NEXT

Measure advancing and receding contact angles and inspect the packing before changing the coating.
