Aluminum and Teflon cylindrical particles with flat ends are dropped in aqueous Polyox solutions. The terminal equilibrium orientation of the particles is characterized by the tilt angle, α, formed by the major axis of the cylinder with the horizontal. It is observed that α is a function of the aspect ratio L=L/d, where L is the length and d is the diameter of the cylinder, and that it varies continuously...
