Modelling of surfactant-driven front instabilities in spreading bacterial colonies
Sarah Trinschek, Karin John, Uwe Thiele
The spreading of bacterial colonies at solid-air interfaces is determined by the physico-chemical properties of the involved interfaces. The production of surfactant molecules by b…

Equilibrium contact angle and adsorption layer properties with surfactants
Uwe Thiele, Jacco H. Snoeijer, Sarah Trinschek +1
The three-phase contact line of a droplet on a smooth surface can be characterized by the Young-Dupré equation. It relates the interfacial energies with the macroscopic contact ang…
