, which is stronger than the predicted value from the Young-Laplace equation. This difference can be described by considering the van der Waals attractions between the droplet molecules and the substrate, which can be calculated by modifying the Young-Laplace equation. Furthermore, under the influence of an alternating field over the GHz frequency range, it was shown that the droplet shape will not change above a threshold frequency, which depends on the relaxation time of the water dipole.
