The wetted area of a sessile droplet on a practical substrate is limited by the three-phase
contact line and characterized by contact angle, contact radius and drop height. Although …

The Marangoni effect—often invoked to describe the so-called “tears of wine”—is in essence
the mass transfer along an interface between two fluids due to a gradient of the surface …

A novel instrument allows for the first time measurements of the lateral adhesion forces at a
solid-liquid interface, f∥, in a way that is decoupled from the normal forces, f⊥. We use it to …

The coexistence of superhydrophilicity and superoleophobicity was considered abnormal
since a superoleophobic surface would also be superhydrophobic based on the classic …

Capture and subsequent geologic storage of CO2 in deep brine reservoirs plays a
significant role in plans to reduce atmospheric carbon emission and resulting global climate …

The extent of a droplet's spreading over a flat, smooth solid substrate and its equilibrium
height in the presence of gravity are determined approximately, without a numerical solution …

This book is the second volume in the series" Contact Angle, Wettability and Adhesion." The
premier volume was published in 2013. Even a cursory glance at the literature show that in …

We review the subject of drops on surfaces from the early days of Young through the
concept of line tension (line energy) and the equations of Furmidge and Dussan to the more …

Rough/patterned/textured surfaces with nano/microcavities that broaden below the surface
known as “re-entrants” can be omniphobic (macroscopic contact angle greater than 90° for …

The problem of wetting is discussed in the framework of the variational approach. It is shown
that the Young, Boruvka–Neumann, Wenzel and Cassie–Baxter equations result from the …
