“…6b. This is described by a modied Cassie-Baxter model, 59 where the corresponding change in surface free energy, DF, upon displacing the surface of the liquid-gas interface by an amount, DA, is given by: In the previous expression g SL , g SV , and g LV are the solidliquid, solid-vapour, and liquid-vapour interfacial tensions, respectively and q indicates the contact angle on the textured surface. According to eqn (1), the equilibrium contact angle of the nanobrous scaffold for each electrospun material or blend can be related to that of the corresponding spin-cast samples, q 0 , and to the scaffold surface topology by the following expression: cos q ¼ rFcos q 0 À (1 À F).…”
