Toward a Predictive Theory of Wetting Dynamics
Langmuir, 2013The molecular kinetic theory (MKT) of dynamic wetting, first proposed nearly 50 years ago, has since been refined to account explicitly for the effects of viscosity and solid-liquid interactions. The MKT asserts that the systematic deviation of the dynamic contact angle from its equilibrium value quantitatively reflects local energy dissipation ...

Abstract Two broad classes of models have been used to describe the motion of a contact line when the contact angle θ deviates from the equilibrium value θe : a) an Eyring approach, emphasizing the microscopic jump of a single molecule at the tip. b) a hydrodynamic approach, concentrating on the viscous losses inside the liquid wedge of angle θ.

The dynamics of wetting processes
Colloids and Surfaces A: Physicochemical and Engineering Aspects, 1994Abstract The dynamic wetting and dewetting behaviour of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), studied by the Wilhelmy technique, is briefly reviewed. Slow relaxation effects were observed for PET surfaces. Equilibrium is achieved by an evaporative process in the case of advancing contact angles.

The wetting properties of liquids against a solid surface are important for many adhesion purposes. A vast amount of knowledge on the statics of wetting has been collected by Zisman and his co-workers(1) mainly for the case of partial wetting, where contact angles can be measured, and related to interfacial energies.

Current Opinion in Colloid & Interface Science, 1997
Recent advancements in experimental studies of wetting phenomena have helped to bridge the gap between the progress made in theory and simulation over the past decade, and the experimental evidence or verification of the theoretical predictions. These developments include new measurements of the equilibrium thickness of precursor wetting films on solid

Reviews of Modern Physics, 1985
The wetting of solids by liquids is connected to physical chemistry (wettability), to statistical physics (pinning of the contact line, wetting transitions, etc.), to long-range forces (van der Waals, double layers), and to fluid dynamics. The present review represents an attempt towards a unified picture with special emphasis on certain features of ...

Statics and Dynamics of Wetting
Molecular Crystals and Liquid Crystals Incorporating Nonlinear Optics, 1990Abstract Recent theoretical and experimental studies on the wetting of smooth, isotropic solid surfaces by simple liquids are presented. These simple models should help for a future discussion of more complex situations including anisotropic surfaces and liquid crystals.
