Evaporation-triggered wetting transition for water droplets upon hydrophobic microstructures.
When placed on rough hydrophobic surfaces, water droplets of diameter larger than a few millimeters can easily form pearls, as they are in the Cassie-Baxter state with air pockets trapped underneath the droplet. Intriguingly, a natural evaporating process can drive such a Fakir drop into a completely wetting (Wenzel) state. Our microscopic observations with simultaneous side and bottom views of...
متن کاملContact line motion for partially wetting fluids.
We study the flow close to an advancing contact line in the limit of a small capillary number. To take into account wetting effects, both long- and short-ranged contributions to the disjoining pressure are taken into account. In front of the contact line, there is a microscopic film corresponding to a minimum of the interaction potential. We compute the parameters of the contact line solution r...
متن کاملFirst-order wetting transition at finite contact angle.
The wetting of a polymer brush by a melt of similar chains can have a window of complete wetting with a classical allophobic wetting transition at low grafting density sigma and an autophobic one at high sigma. However, when the melt chains are much longer than the brush chains, the contact angle alpha goes through a nonzero minimum where partial differential alpha/ partial differential sigma h...
متن کاملLine and boundary tensions on approach to the wetting transition.
A mean-field density-functional model often used in the past in the study of line and boundary tensions at wetting and prewetting transitions is reanalyzed by extensive numerical calculations, approaching the wetting transition much more closely than had previously been possible. The results are what are now believed to be definitive for the model. They include strong numerical evidence for the...
متن کاملElastocapillary deformations on partially-wetting substrates: rival contact-line models.
A partially-wetting liquid can deform the underlying elastic substrate upon which it rests. This situation requires the development of theoretical models to describe the wetting forces imparted by the drop onto the solid substrate, particularly those at the contact-line. We construct a general solution using a displacement potential function for the elastic deformations within a finite elastic ...
