One of the simplest methods of measuring the quantities for estimating the adhesion properties of materials (i.e., the adhesion work, the surface energy, and the interfacial tension between certain liquids and a surface) requires the determination of the contact angle between the liquid and the surface. In the case of plane surfaces the determination of the drop dimensions makes it possible to calculate the contact angle by the sessile drop method, but in the case of cylindrical surfaces (such as the monotilaments), several methods were developed to improve the accuracy of the contact angle measurements. This paper presents a comprehensive method for precise evaluation of the contact angle between liquid drops and monotilaments by establishing a differential equation describing the drop contour. This equation makes it possible to accurately compute the contact angle using the dimensions of the drop. A comparison of the values of the contact angle calculated by our method and those obtained by other approaches is made. We applied our method in the case of polyamide-6 monofilaments treated using dielectric barrier discharge, knowing their medical applications in surgical sutures. (c) 2005 Elsevier Inc.
