Contact angle is an important parameter that characterizes the degree of wetting of a material. While for a static case, estimation and measurement of contact angle has been well established, same can not be said for the dynamic case. There is still a lack of understanding and consensus as to the fundamental factors governing the microscopic dynamic contact angle. With the aim of understanding the physics and identifying the parameters that govern the actual or microscopic dynamic contact angle, we derive a model based on first principles, by performing a force balance around the region containing the contact line. It is found that in addition to the surface tension, the microscopic dynamic contact angle is also a function of surface tension gradient and the jump in normal stress across the interface. In addition to having a significant contribution in determining the microscopic dynamic contact angle, surface tension gradient is also a key cause for contact angle hysteresis.

To better understand the sedimentation processes of bentonite, the sedimentation characteristic of bentonite suspension was studied by using the sedimentation analysis module of Dynamic Contact Angle Meter and Tensiometer. The results indicated that sedimentation characteristics of bentonite suspension were affected by the concentration and pH values of the suspension together with the dosage of dispersants. The natural sedimentation rates of bentonite suspension declined firstly with prolonging the sedimentation time and soon stabilized after about 50s. The sedimentation weight of particles hardly changed when the concentration ranged from 0.5% to 5.0%, while it increased significantly when ranged from 5.0% to 10.0%. The sedimentation weight and rate were relatively bigger at 4.4, 11.8 than that of 6.0, 7.9, and the maximum values appeared at pH11.8. Adding sodium pyrophosphate could improve the dispersibility of bentonite suspension.
