# Learn about Surface Tension and Contact Angle analysis

## Are contact angle and surface tension related?  

- (Scenario 1) Low Contact Angle : Hydrophilic : High Surface Energy : Surface Tension is High
- (Scenario 2) High Contact Angle : Hydrophobic : Low Surface Energy : Surface Tension is Low
