Surfactant-mediated wetting and spreading are ubiquitous. Understanding of these
phenomena in-depth allows precise tailoring of wetting performance which can contribute to …

This review covers experimental results of evaporative lithography and analyzes existing
mathematical models of this method. Evaporating droplets and films are used in different …

Colloidal nano altered wetting is an everyday phenomenon with various applications. It
occurs when an aqueous colloidal droplet is placed on a wet solid and evaporates with a …

Droplet coalescence is an important process in nature and various technologies (eg, inkjet
printing). Here, we unveil the surfactant mass transport mechanism and report on several …

We investigate the coalescence of surfactant-laden water droplets by using several different
surfactant types and a wide range of concentrations by means of a coarse-grained model …

Superspreading is a fascinating phenomenon first observed about 30 years ago with dilute
solutions of trisiloxane surfactants on hydrophobic substrates. Although many groups all …

Atmospheric aerosols can consist of inorganic and organic substances, including surfactants
at a significant concentration. Importantly, the latter can reduce the surface tension at the …

Despite its important technological applications, surfactant-enhanced (spontaneous)
spreading on a solid surface and how to optimize it on surfaces with different wettabilities …

We develop a computational model to simulate the immediate post-impact spreading
behaviour of surfactant-laden drops that impact a flat and solid surface. The model is built on …

The spreading performance of aqueous solutions containing a novel branched trimethylsilyl
hedgehog ionic surfactant, Mg (AOTSiC) 2, was compared with that of trisiloxane …
