Influence of Micron Roughness on Droplet Adhesion and Detachment Behavior with Coal Surfaces by Siheng Hou, Peng Xiong, Xianshu Dong, Hengfei Chen, Shuhuan Li, Yujin Sun

“…A highly sensitive adhesion force measuring instrument was employed to study the continuous attachment and detachment processes between droplets and coal surfaces of different roughness levels. Contact angle results indicated that as the roughness of the coal sample surface increased, the contact angle gradually decreased, suggesting an increase in the hydrophilicity of the coal surface. …”
