We study the interface dynamics and contact angle hysteresis in a two dimensional, chemically patterned channel described by the Cahn-Hilliard equation with a relaxation boundary condition. A system for the dynamics of the contact angle and contact point is derived in the sharp interface limit. We then analyze the behavior of the solution using the phase plane analysis. We observe the stick-slip of the contact point and the contact angle hysteresis. As the size of the pattern decreases to zero, the stick-slip becomes weaker but the hysteresis becomes stronger in the sense that one observes either the advancing contact angle or the receding contact angle without any switching in between. Numerical examples are presented to verify our analysis.

Keywords: Contact angle hysteresis, Cahn-Hilliard equation, asymptotic analysis.
