In thermodynamic equilibrium, the contact angle is related by Young's equation to the
interfacial energies. Unfortunately, it is practically impossible to measure the equilibrium …

This work presents an experimental study of dynamic contact angle hysteresis using liquid
bridges under cyclic compression and stretching between two identical plates. Under …

Surfaces enabling directional drop self‐transport have exceptional applications in digital
microfluidics, chemical analysis, bioassay, and microreactor technology. While such …

Many surfaces reversibly change their structure and interfacial energy upon being in contact
with a liquid. Such surfaces adapt to a specific liquid. We propose the first order kinetic …

To better understand the wetting of cross-linked polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), we
measured advancing and receding contact angles of sessile water drops on cross-linked …

The interaction between bubbles and solid particles is an important mechanism in many
industrial processes and flotation is a significant component of the most utilized applications …

Adsorption of small amphiphilic molecules occurs in various biological and technological
processes, sometimes desired while other times unwanted (eg, contamination). Surface …

Controlling bubble motion or passively bursting bubbles using solid interfaces is
advantageous in numerous industrial applications including flotation, catalysis …

We address the dynamics of a surfactant-laden droplet on a solid surface in simple shear
flow numerically. Our analysis uses the front-tracking method to take surfactant transport into …

Solid surfaces, in particular polymer surfaces, are able to adapt upon contact with a liquid.
Adaptation results in an increase in contact angle hysteresis and influences the mobility of …
