Drops on polymer brushes -- advances in thin-film modelling of adaptive substrates
Simon Hartmann, Jan Diekmann, Daniel Greve +1
We briefly review recent advances in the hydrodynamic modeling of the dynamics of droplets on adaptive substrates, in particular, solids that are covered by polymer brushes. Thereb…
Non-equilibrium configurations of swelling polymer brush layers induced by spreading drops of weakly volatile oil
Özlem Kap, Simon Hartmann, Harmen Hoek +4
Polymer brush layers are responsive materials that swell in contact with good solvents and their vapors. We deposit drops of an almost completely wetting volatile oil onto an oleop…
Stick-slip Dynamics in the Forced Wetting of Polymer Brushes
Daniel Greve, Simon Hartmann, Uwe Thiele
We study the static and dynamic wetting of adaptive substrates using a mesoscopic hydrodynamic model for a liquid droplet on a solid substrate covered by a polymer brush. First, we…
