The influence of topography on dynamic wetting

Advances in Colloid and Interface Science, 2014
The paramount importance of wetting applications and the significant economic value of controlling wetting-based industrial processes has stimulated a deep interest in wetting science. In many industrial applications the motion of a complex liquid front over nano-textured surfaces controls the fate of the processes.

Wetting Dynamics of a Lipid Monolayer

Langmuir, 2021
Direct measurement and control of the dynamic wetting properties of a lipid-coated water-air interface over a wide range of surface tension variations have many important applications. However, the wetting dynamics of the interface near its partial-to-complete wetting transition has not been fully understood.

Dynamics of Wetting Revisited

Langmuir, 2009
We present new spreading-drop data obtained over four orders of time and apply our new analysis tool G-Dyna to demonstrate the specific range over which the various models of dynamic wetting would seem to apply for our experimental system. We follow the contact angle and radius dynamics of four liquids on the smooth silica surface of silicon wafers or ...

Dynamic wetting at the nanoscale

Physical Review E, 2013
Although the capillary spreading of a drop on a dry substrate is well studied, understanding and describing the physical mechanisms that govern the dynamics remain challenging. Here we study the dynamics of spreading of partially wetting nanodroplets by combining molecular dynamics simulations and continuum phase field simulations.

Dynamics of wetting

Current Opinion in Colloid & Interface Science, 2001
We review the mechanisms controlling the dynamics of wetting in partial and complete wetting regimes. It is shown that the behaviour in several timescales may characterize the dynamics since different channels of energy dissipation have to be considered within spreading.

Dynamics of wetting

Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter, 2009
Capillary phenomena associated with fluids wetting other condensed matter phases have drawn great scientific interest for hundreds of years; consider the recent bicentennial celebration of Thomas Young's paper on equilibrium contact angles, describing the geometric shape assumed near a three phase contact line in terms of the relevant surface energies ...
