After a brief presentation of thermodynamics and kinetics of non-reactive wetting, the recent
results and theoretical developments concerning the reactive wetting of solids by liquid …

The wettability of ceramic and metallic solids by liquid metals is discussed with emphasis on
the effect of interfacial reactions on the spreading kinetics and the final degree of wetting …

The purpose of this paper is to present progress made since 1998 in understanding and
modeling reactive wetting in metal/ceramic systems. The paper focuses on the two …

Wetting in a system where the kinetics of drop spreading are controlled by the rate of
formation of a precursor film is modeled for the first time at the atomistic scale. Molecular …

Elastocapillary phenomena involving elastic deformation of solid structures coupled with
capillary effects of liquid droplets/films can be observed in a diversity of fields, eg, biology …
