Apparent Wettability angle and Asperity Explained 

Apparent Wettability angle and Asperity Explained
Description: The apparent contact angle measured from the average surface plane can differ significantly from the true contact angle at a locally inclined surface (top). Even if a pore is water-wetting, the surface water may not be a double layer, but could be thicker due to pore rugosity (bottom). At an asperity, the surface forces are more favorable for displacing the double layer than elsewhere on the surface.
