Wetting films and wetting [PDF]
Revue de Physique Appliquée, 1988 Macroscopic approach to the wetting phenomena, based on the isotherms of disjoining pressure of wetting films in equilibrium with concave menisci or drops, allows one to calculate the contact angles for different liquids and solid substrates. The results of calculations are presented using the theory of long-range surface forces, and their agreement ...

Wettability versus roughness of engineering surfaces [PDF]
, 2011 Wetting of real engineering surfaces occurs in many industrial applications (liquid coating, lubrication, printing, painting, ...). Forced and natural wetting can be beneficial in many cases, providing lubrication and therefore reducing friction and wear.

Directional wetting in anisotropic inverse opals
, 2014 Porous materials display interesting transport phenomena due to the restricted motion of fluids within the nano- to micro-scale voids. Here, we investigate how liquid wetting in highly ordered inverse opals is affected by anisotropy in pore geometry.
