On a non-textured (or smooth) surface, the equilibrium contact angle θ for any contacting liquid is given by Young’s relation 10 as: The second important parameter for characterizing surface ...

In this study, the constant angle ruled surfaces constructed by polynomial space curves using the Frenet-like curve (Flc) frame in Euclidean 3-space are examined. We find the conditions for the ruled ...

Mark Grizotsky proposes the following concept for machining precision thin slot and surface under angles: “There are times that we need to perform precision machining for thin slot and surface ...

Our correspondent writes with the new report of the following innovation: “Some times we have the need to machine three plane surfaces — A, B, and C. Surface A is perpendicular to Surface B, and ...

Right Angles Are All Wrong For Tree Frog Adhesion Date: April 6, 2007 Source: Society for Experimental Biology Summary: Tree frogs have the unique ability to stick to smooth surfaces even when they ...

Schematic of a grazing incidence small and wide angle X-ray scattering (GISAXS/GIWAXS) experimental setup showing the incident (αi) and the scattered angles along the horizontal (2θf) and vertical (αf ...
