Precursor films in wetting phenomena
M. N. Popescu, G. Oshanin, S. Dietrich +1
The spontaneous spreading of non-volatile liquid droplets on solid substrates poses a classic problem in the context of wetting phenomena. It is well known that the spreading of a…
Instability patterns in ultrathin nematic films: comparison between theory and experiment
O. V. Manyuhina, A. -M. Cazabat, M. Ben Amar
Motivated by recent experimental observations [U. Delabre et al, Langmuir 24, 3998, 2008] we reconsider an instability of ultrathin nematic films, spread on liquid substrates. With…
Post-Tanner spreading of nematic droplets
S. Mechkov, A. -M. Cazabat, G. Oshanin
The quasistationary spreading of a circular liquid drop on a solid substrate typically obeys the so-called Tanner law, with the instantaneous base radius R(t) growing with time as…
Post-Tanner stages of droplet spreading: the energy balance approach revisited
Serguei Mechkov, Anne-Marie Cazabat, Gleb Oshanin
The spreading of a circular liquid drop on a solid substrate can be described by the time evolution of its base radius R(t). In complete wetting the quasistationary regime (far awa…
Contact line stability of ridges and drops
S. Mechkov, G. Oshanin, M. Rauscher +3
Within the framework of a semi-microscopic interface displacement model we analyze the linear stability of sessile ridges and drops of a non-volatile liquid on a homogeneous, parti…
Evaporating Drops of Alkane Mixtures
Geoffroy Guéna, Christophe Poulard, Anne-Marie Cazabat
Alkane mixtures are model systems where the influence of surface tension gradients during the spreading and the evaporation of wetting drops can be easily studied. The surface tens…
