Several factors can influence the results of sliding angle tests, including:
Surface roughness: Nanostructured surfaces can trap air pockets, affecting the sliding angle. Chemical composition: The presence of different chemical groups on the surface can alter its interaction with liquids. Droplet volume: Larger droplets may require a smaller angle to start sliding due to increased gravitational force. Environmental conditions: Temperature and humidity can impact the surface properties and the behavior of the liquid droplet.
