Surface roughness has a profound influence on the wetting properties of a material. This fact
is especially true with respect to the wetting of superhydrophobic surfaces. As a result of a …

In this critical review we treat the phenomenon of capillarity in nanoscopic confinement,
based on application of the Young-Laplace equation. In classical capillarity the curvature of …

Molecular dynamics techniques are used to study the microscopic aspects of several slow
viscous flows past a solid wall, where both fluid and wall have a molecular structure …

This volume chronicles the proceedings of the Third International Symposium on Contact
Angle, Wettability and Adhesion held in Providence, Rhode Island, May 20a 23, 2002. This …

Scanning tunneling microscopy has been used to demonstrate phase segregation in varied
composition, twocomponent self-assembled monolayers on gold. These monolayer films …

Presents current knowledge of intermolecular interactions, the dynamics of wetting and the
importance of wettability phenomena in processes and products, detailing the …

Contact angles can be of great value; however, making meaningful contact angle
measurements and interpreting those measurements is complex. For years, researchers …

A method of calculation is introduced that allows the simulation of the time-dependent three-
dimensional motion of liquid droplets on solid substrates for systems exhibiting finite …

AWi+ hW2(5) where A and f2 are the fractional areas of the patches. When eq 3-5 are
combined we immediately obtain the Cassie equation, eq 1. Note that, in this case, it is im …

We investigate contact angle hysteresis on chemically patterned and superhydrophobic
surfaces, as the drop volume is quasistatically increased and decreased. We consider both …
