Measurement of the wetting angle of nanoparticles using surface melting

We propose a new procedure for measuring wetting angles on nanoscale particles using surface melting. Surface melting is highly dependent on the geometry of a particle so it can be used as a measure. The theoretical basis is summarized and found in good agreement with experimental results.
