50. An equilibrium contact angle of 180° corresponds to a smaller as-placed contact angle [ Tadmor, R.; Yadav, P. S. J. Colloid Interface Sci. 2008, 317, 241 ]. We show here that a three-phase contact line is associated with measurable adhesive contact even if the conditions for placing the drop on a surface cannot be reached (i.e., force-creating a line by submerging the surface). This suggests that when the conditions for placing the drop on a surface cannot be reached, the equilibrium contact angle may be 180°, in which case there is only a three-phase contact point rather than a line. Thus, the value of 180° is consistent with the situation of inability to reach the conditions for placing the drop on a surface
