Understanding the role of pinning force in droplet dynamic wetting is of critical importance
for surface science studies. Generally, the pinning force is only related to the surface tension …

Experimentally measuring the apparent contact angle on a curved surface usually requires a
specific instrument, which could be costly and is not widely accessible. To address this …

Wetting of a sessile droplet on structured or patterned surface can be found in a broad range
of applications. The researchers have been promoted to keep working on the topic. The …

This theoretical study was motivated by recent experiments and theoretical work that had
suggested the dependence of the static contact angle on the local wetting at the triple-phase …

In this study, the wetting behaviors of single droplet on a micro square-post patterned
surface with different geometrical parameters are investigated theoretically and numerically …

The contact line pinning mechanisms of a non-wetting droplet penetrating a permeable
substrate are theoretically explained by considering the force balance of volumetric force …

Understanding and controlling the motion of the contact line is of critical importance for
surface science studies as well as many industrial engineering applications. In this work, we …

Droplet and bubble wettability are important parameters for characterizing the wetting
propensity of solid surface. Recent studies have shown significant differences between the …

Edge effect is known to hinder spreading of a sessile drop. However, the underlying
thermodynamic mechanisms responsible for the edge effect still is not well-understood. In …

The wetting state of a water droplet remarkably affecting its sliding behavior is characterized
by the droplet boundary contact line. This paper presents experimental studies of the …
