Hysteresis of contact angle of sessile droplets on smooth homogeneous solid substrates via disjoining/conjoining pressure

A theory of contact angle hysteresis of liquid droplets on smooth, homogeneous solid substrates is developed in terms of the shape of the disjoining/conjoining pressure isotherm and quasi-equilibrium phenomena. It is shown that all contact angles, θ, in the range θr < θ < θa, which are differe...
