How Wettability Controls Nanoprinting [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2020 Using large scale molecular dynamics simulations, we study in detail the impact of nanometer droplets of low viscosity on flat substrates versus the wettability of the solid plate. The comparison between the molecular dynamics simulations and different macroscopic models reveals that most of these models do not correspond to the simulation results at ...
