Abstract
Some fundamental problems concerning equilibrium contact angles are discussed. These include the modification of the Young equation for the intrinsic contact angle, the question of whether the actual contact angle is always identical with the intrinsic contact angle, the mechanism of contact angle hysteresis and the problem of measuring actual contact angles. New approaches to these problems are presented, and open questions are pointed out.
