Wetting morphologies on randomly oriented fibers.
We characterize the different morphologies adopted by a drop of liquid placed on two randomly oriented fibers, which is a first step toward understanding the wetting of fibrous networks. The present work reviews previous modeling for parallel and touching crossed fibers and extends it to an arbitrary orientation of the fibers characterized by the tilting angle and the minimum spacing distance. ...
متن کاملWetting morphologies on an array of fibers of different radii.
We investigate the equilibrium morphology of a finite volume of liquid placed on two parallel rigid fibers of different radii. As observed for identical radii fibers, the liquid is either in a column morphology or adopts a drop shape depending on the inter-fiber distance. However the cross-sectional area and the critical inter-fiber distance at which the transition occurs are both modified by t...
متن کاملWetting morphologies at microstructured surfaces - Supp
In order to construct topographically microstructured surfaces with a certain wettability, we used the following procedures. Using standard photolithographic methods with pulsed ion gas etching, silicon substrates were topographically structured with surface grooves of rectangular cross–section, see Figure S1. More precisely, five different samples were fabricated, each of which contained four ...
متن کاملWetting, spreading, and adsorption on randomly rough surfaces.
The wetting properties of solid substrates with customary (i.e., macroscopic) random roughness are considered as a function of the microscopic contact angle of the wetting liquid and its partial pressure in the surrounding gas phase. Analytic expressions are derived which allow for any given lateral correlation function and height distribution of the roughness to calculate the wetting phase dia...
متن کاملRandomly Oriented Lattices
Geoffrey R. Grimmett Abstract. The square lattice is used to generate an oriented graph in which a rightward or upward arrow is present on each edge with probability a, and a leftward or downward arrow with probability b. Independence between different edges of the square lattice is assumed, but nothing is assumed concerning the dependence between the two possible orientations at any given edge...
