Cassie-Baxter Model for Liquid Water Transport in Fabrics

A theoretical study by Hang Mao develops a fabric-specific application of the Cassie-Baxter model to regulate liquid water transport. The dataset includes models for apparent contact angle and wetting force in warp and weft directions, validated for predicting wetting behavior. It was last updated on June 3, 2026, and is shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Predicting wetting speed and direction of water on fabrics based on the derived apparent contact angle and wetting force models.
• Designing fabrics for specific wetting morphologies (e.g., circular, elliptical) by altering structural parameters like yarn density and diameter.
• Validating theoretical models of liquid transport regulation in textiles for applications in functional clothing or biomedical devices.

Strengths

• Theoretical foundation is validated for predicting apparent contact angle, as stated in the description.
• Model parameters are systematically investigated, covering warp and weft directions and factors like coverage tightness.
• Dataset is 164.0 MB in size, containing both video (MP4) and document (DOCX) files that likely illustrate the models and findings.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for quantitative analysis.
• The description is theoretical; the actual experimental or simulation data files require inspection to assess comprehensiveness.
