A quantitative experimental study of wetting hysteresis on discrete and continuous chemical heterogeneities
Chemically heterogeneous surfaces are well known to induce contact angle hysteresis due to the local energy barriers that oppose contact line movement. In many cases, the surface heterogeneity is discontinuous, i.e. discrete regions of different wettability exist, which leads to pinning of the conta...
