The wetting of a solid surface by a liquid droplet under a liquid medium at elevated temperatures depends not only on the solid-drop and drop-medium interfacial tensions (IFTs) but also on the temperature dependency of the IFT of the surrounding medium. Previous studies have shown either a decreasin...
