This paper presents a theoretical analysis of the liquid film dynamics during the oscillation of
a meniscus between a liquid and its vapour in a cylindrical capillary. By using the theory of …

In this paper, we study the interaction of a contact line with molecules physically adsorbed
on a surface. We developed specific atomic force microscopy (AFM) experiments where a …

The interaction of the contact line with topographical or chemical defects at the nanometer
scale sets the macroscopic wetting properties of a liquid on a solid substrate. Based on …

We present contactless atomic force microscopy measurements of the hydrodynamic
interactions between an oscillating sphere and a bubble in water at the microscale. The size …

A way to model properties of nanomaterials consists of applying well-established
approaches based on a macroscopic view of matter, therefore ignoring any peculiar features …

In this paper, we systematically investigate the static wetting behavior of a liquid ring in a
cylindrical capillary tube. We obtain analytical solutions of the axisymmetric Young–Laplace …

Understanding the origin of the dissipative mechanisms that control the dynamics of a
contact line is a real challenge. In order to study the energy dissipation at the contact line …

Solid surfaces with excellent nonwetting ability have drawn significant interest from
interfacial scientists and engineers. While much effort was devoted to investigating …

Lorsqu'une goutte est déposée sur une surface, les trois phases solide, liquide et air se
rejoignent au niveau d'une ligne: la ligne de contact. La physique de cette ligne est un …

Pulsating Heat Pipe (PHP) is a promising alternative to conventional heat pipes to satisfy the
increasing demand of the electronics cooling industry. It is an innovative heat transfer device …
