Volume and Frequency-Independent Spreading of Droplets Driven by Ultrasonic Surface Vibration
Many industrial processes depend on the wetting of liquids on various surfaces. Understanding the wetting effects due to ultrasonic vibration could provide a means for changing the behavior of liquids on any surface.

Dynamics of the spontaneous breakdown of superhydrophobicity [PDF]
Drops deposited on rough and hydrophobic surfaces can stay suspended with gas pockets underneath the liquid, then showing very low hydrodynamic resistance.

Review on Moisture Management Finish: Mechanism and Evaluation
Moisture management is one of the key performance criteria in today’s apparel comfort. It is defined as the ability of a garment to transport moisture away from the skin to the garment’s outer surface.

Dielectrowetting Driven Spreading of Droplets [PDF]
The wetting of solid surfaces can be modified by altering the surface free energy balance between the solid, liquid, and vapor phases. Here we show that liquid dielectrophoresis induced by nonuniform electric fields can be used to enhance and control the

Controlling the Organization of Colloidal Sphero-Cylinders Using Confinement in a Minority Phase
We demonstrate experimentally that a phase-separating host solvent can be used to organize colloidal rods into different cluster and network states. The rods are silica sphero-cylinders which are preferentially wet by the water-rich phase of an oil–water

The condition for stable fixation of a collector on the surface of diamonds and their flotation is the use of collectors of the optimal fractional composition and the choice of the optimum temperature regime of the process. To determine the parameters of

Wetting Transitions Displayed by Persistent Active Particles
A lattice model for active matter is studied numerically, showing that it displays wettings transitions between three distinctive phases when in contact with an impenetrable wall. The particles in the model move persistently, tumbling with a small rate $\

A laser-based technique for the coating of mild steel with a vitreous enamel [PDF]
Marked changes in the wettability characteristics of EN8 mild steel were observed after high power diode laser (HPDL) surface treatment of the metal.
