Is contact-line mobility a material parameter?

Abstract Dynamic wetting phenomena are typically described by a constitutive law relating the dynamic contact angle θ to contact-line velocity U C L . The so-called Davis–Hocking model is noteworthy for its simplicity and relates θ to U C L through a contact-line mobility parameter M, which has hist...
