In this work, we have studied the wetting behaviour of liquids on closed and non closed
surfaces. Contact angle measurements were performed on polymer and glass surfaces (non …

The viscosity η L and the surface tension γ L of the liquid as well as the equilibrium contact
angle θ e are essential parameters governing the wetting kinetics of liquids on solids. By …

The kinetics of wetting was studied by measuring the apparent contact angles formed when
a solid is immersed into a liquid. Some angles are compared with data from the literature …

Wetting processes play major roles in many fields including painting, printing, surface
coating but also in agriculture, oil recovery etc...“Wetting” covers all phenomena occurring …

A simple dependency between contact angle θ and velocity or surface tension has been
predicted for the wetting and dewetting behavior of simple liquids. According to the …

The interfacial forces which determine the interaction between a fluid and a solid surface
have been investigated under dynamic conditions. The evaporation characteristics of fluid …

The spreading of small silicone oil drops (capillary regime of spreading) over various dry
thick porous substrates (permeable in both normal and tangential directions) was …

The dynamic wetting behavior of simple liquids (water, glycerin, formamide, ethylene glycol,
and a mixture of water and ethylene glycol) and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) oils with …

The physical bases of wetting are molecular interactions within a solid or liquid or across the
interface between a liquid and a solid. The wetting behavior of liquids on solid surfaces is …

An explicit expression for this driving force was computed taking into account the interaction
potential between the molecules of the liquid and between those of the liquid and the solid …
