The abrupt change in the apparent contact angle occurring on a rough surface is called
wetting transition. This change may be spontaneous or promoted by external stimuli such as …

Glass-and polymer-based materials have become essential in the fabrication of a multitude
of elements, including eyeglasses, automobile windshields, bathroom mirrors, greenhouses …

The contact line dynamics during the evaporation of nano-droplets sessile on textured solid
substrates is investigated using molecular dynamics method. Our simulations reproduce the …

Slippery liquid-infused porous surfaces (SLIPSs) prepared with phase invariant materials
(eg, Krytox GPL oil) have been increasingly researched as low-adhesion engineered …

Recent developments in the studies of evaporation of liquid droplets placed on a solid
substrate are reviewed for the droplet size typically larger than 1 μm, so that kinetics effects …

Physical mechanisms of Cassie–Wenzel wetting transitions are discussed. The origin of the
potential barrier separating the Cassie and Wenzel wetting states is clarified. It may contain …

The interplay between the solid surface properties and transport phenomena during sessile
droplet evaporation is extremely important in solid deposition processes. Engineering …

Electrohydrodynamic (EHD) enhancement of water droplet evaporation by non-uniform
electric field and the subsequent dynamic characteristics were experimentally investigated …

The wetting of solid surfaces is treated. The Young and receding contact angles are
experimentally unattainable values for the majority of solid surfaces. Actually, we always …

Reactive wetting is a process ubiquitous in modern electronic soldering processes.
Nonetheless, the dependencies of reactive wetting angles on surface roughness and droplet …
