Adaptive Wetting of Polydimethylsiloxane [PDF]

Langmuir, 2020
To better understand the wetting of cross-linked polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), we measured advancing and receding contact angles of sessile water drops on cross-linked PDMS as a function of contact line velocity (up to 100 μm/s).

Nonequilibrium wetting [PDF]

Journal of Statistical Physics, 2009
When a nonequilibrium growing interface in the presence of a wall is considered a nonequilibrium wetting transition may take place. This transition can be studied trough Langevin equations or discrete growth models.

Active wetting of epithelial tissues [PDF]

Nature Physics, 2019
Development, regeneration and cancer involve drastic transitions in tissue morphology. In analogy with the behavior of inert fluids, some of these transitions have been interpreted as wetting transitions.

Wetting and complex remodeling of membranes by biomolecular condensates

bioRxiv, 2023
Cells compartmentalize their components in liquid-like condensates, which can be reconstituted in vitro. Although these condensates interact with membrane-bound organelles, the potential of membrane remodeling and the underlying mechanisms are not well ...

Wetting Effect on Patterned Substrates

Advances in Materials, 2023
A droplet deposited on a solid substrate leads to the wetting phenomenon. A natural observation is the lotus effect, known for its superhydrophobicity. This special feature is engendered by the structured microstructure of the lotus leaf, namely, surface

Triboelectric wetting for continuous droplet transport

Science Advances, 2022
Manipulating liquid is of great significance in fields from life sciences to industrial applications. Owing to its advantages in manipulating liquids with high precision and flexibility, electrowetting on dielectric (EWOD) has been widely used in various

Adaptive Wetting—Adaptation in Wetting [PDF]

Langmuir, 2018
Many surfaces reversibly change their structure and interfacial energy upon being in contact with a liquid. Such surfaces adapt to a specific liquid. We propose the first order kinetic model to describe dynamic contact angles of such adaptive surfaces. The model is general and does not refer to a particular adaptation process.

Imbibition-induced selective wetting of liquid metal

Nature Communications, 2022
Herein, we present the imbibition-induced, spontaneous, and selective wetting characteristics of gallium-based liquid metal alloys on a metallized surface with micro-scale topographical features.

Metastable wetting [PDF]

Journal of Statistical Mechanics: Theory and Experiment, 2011
Consider a droplet of liquid on top of a grooved substrate. The wetting or not of a groove implies the crossing of a potential barrier as the interface has to distort, to hit the bottom of the groove. We start with computing the free energies of the dry and wet states in the context of a simple thermodynamical model before switching to a random ...
