Effect of contact line roughness on contact angle

Mendeleev Communications, 1996
The generalized Young equation allowing for the roughness of the three-phase contact line has been derived and applied to an explanation of experimental results on the contact angle anisotropy of a sessile drop on deformed elastomers.

Circles and Lines in Contact

1971
12. The sequence of the following problems, fourteen in all, is settled by their interdependence one upon the other. This order, however, is not the most suitable in which to consider the problems as a whole, and to obtain a clear idea of the ground covered the student should rewrite them in outline, as a preliminary, in the manner and order given ...

Instability mechanism at driven contact lines

Physical Review E, 1993
An explanation of the mechanism for the fingering instability at driven contact lines is presented. Semiquantitative predictions for the growth of the fingers as a function of time, the most unstable wavelength, and the initial growth rate are deduced. These predictions are consistent with recent experiments of de Bruyn [Phys. Rev. A 46, R4500 (1992)].

Thermodynamics of soft anisotropic contact lines

The Journal of Chemical Physics, 2004
Contact lines arising from the intersection of interfaces between liquids and nematic liquid crystals are representative models of soft anisotropic contact lines. This paper presents the thermodynamics of soft anisotropic contact lines and the derivation of the one dimensional (1D) Gibbs–Duhem adsorption equation. Consistency between the 1D Gibbs–Duhem
