TLDR
The surface forces of a solid surface in contact with a liquid phase have been studied in this article, where the surface tension of the solid surface has been attributed to a definite value of surface tension to the liquid surface.Abstract:
In everyday life one encounters many different systems where it is apparent that various processes take place at the line of contact between a liquid phase and a solid phase. The molecules in the liquid phase can move larger distances than those in the solid phase. Therefore, since the molecules in a solid phase are well fixed, this gives rise to the fact that it is in general not possible to study the surface forces of the solid phase in the same way we have described for the liquid phase elsewhere in this book. In spite of this, there exist many examples where we have to attribute a definite value of surface tension to the solid surface, in order to be able to describe the different reactions taking place at the solid surface in contact with liquid phase.read more

TL;DR: E engineered pillars, ridges and biomimetic topography inspired by the skin of fast moving sharks were replicated in polydimethylsiloxane elastomer to suggest bioadhesion and surface wettability are influenced by microscale topography.

Study of the advancing and receding contact angles: liquid sorption as a cause of contact angle hysteresis.
TL;DR: It was found that the receding contact angle equals the advancing angle when the alkane molecules are infinitely large, which strongly suggest that the chain length and size of the liquid molecule could contribute to contact angle hysteresis phenomena.

Effect of parallel surface microgrooves and surface energy on cell growth.
TL;DR: Physicochemical parameters such as wettability and surface free energy influence cell growth but play no measurable role in the shape and orientation of cells on microtextured surfaces.

Quantitative analysis of fibroblast morphology on microgrooved surfaces with various groove and ridge dimensions.
TL;DR: Results showed that the ridge width is the most important parameter, since varying the groove width and groove depth did not affect the RDF size, shape, nor the angle of cellular orientation.
