Advancing contact lines on chemically patterned surfaces.
We report an experimental investigation on advancing contact lines of large drops spreading on chemically patterned surfaces. The model substrates were prepared using microphotolithography allowing precise control of the position and the size of the wettability patterns. Experiments were performed exploring different surface geometries: from ordered to disordered fields of defects and from low ...
متن کاملDrop dynamics on chemically patterned surfaces
– We compare numerical and experimental results exploring the behaviour of liquid drops moving across a surface patterned with hydrophobic and hydrophilic stripes. A lattice Boltzmann algorithm is used to solve the hydrodynamic equations of motion of the drops allowing us to investigate their behaviour as the stripe widths and the wettability contrast are altered. We explain how the motion of t...
متن کاملAnalysis of Wetting and Contact Angle Hysteresis on Chemically Patterned Surfaces
The wetting and contact angle hysteresis on chemically patterned surfaces in two dimensions are analyzed from a stationary phase-field model for immiscible two phase fluid. We first study the sharp interface limit of the model by the method of matched asymptotic expansions. We then justify the results rigorously by the Γ-convergence theory for the related variational problem and study the prope...
متن کاملEvaporative gold nanorod assembly on chemically stripe-patterned gradient surfaces.
Experimentally we explore the potential of using pre-defined motion of a receding contact line to control the deposition of nanoparticles from suspension. Stripe-patterned wettability gradients are employed, which consist of alternating hydrophilic and hydrophobic stripes with increasing macroscopic surface energy. Nanoparticle suspensions containing nanorods and nanospheres are deposited onto ...
متن کاملThermocapillary actuation of liquid flow on chemically patterned surfaces
We have investigated the thermocapillary flow of a Newtonian liquid on hydrophilic microstripes which are lithographically defined on a hydrophobic surface. The speed of the microstreams is studied as a function of the stripe width w, the applied thermal gradient udT/dxu and the liquid volume V deposited on a connecting reservoir pad. Numerical solutions of the flow speed as a function of downs...
