Adhesive forces in droplet kinetic friction
Glen McHale, Sara Janahi, Hernán Barrio-Zhang +4
Kinetic frictional forces resisting droplet motion often appear to be separate to surface wettability and adhesive forces. Here we show that such friction arises from a simple comb…
Multiple Equilibria Enables Tunable Wetting of Droplets on Patterned Liquid Surfaces
Xitong Zhang, Hongyu Zhao, Jack R. Panter +4
Patterning solid surfaces with varying wettability is important to manage droplets in microfluidics, heat transfer and printing. Solid surface roughness poses fundamental limitatio…
Transforming Siliconization into Slippery Liquid-like Coatings
Hernán Barrio-Zhang, Glen McHale, Gary G. Wells +4
Siliconization is widely used as a coating technique to engineer surface properties, such as in the pharmaceutical and medical device industries to lubricate motion, ensure complet…
Capillary imbibition in lubricant coated channels
Sergi G. Leyva, Ignacio Pagonabarraga, Aurora Hernández-Machado +1
Capillary imbibition underpins many processes of fundamental and applied relevance in fluid mechanics. A limitation to the flow is the coupling to the confining solid, which induce…
Superhydrophobicity of Auxetic Metamaterials
Glen McHale, Andrew Alderson, Steven Armstrong +7
Superhydrophobic materials are often inspired by nature, whereas metamaterials are engineered to have properties not usually found in naturally occurring materials. In both cases,…
Control of droplet evaporation on smooth chemical patterns
Michael Ewetola, Rodrigo Ledesma-Aguilar, Marc Pradas
We investigate the evaporation of a two-dimensional droplet on a solid surface. The solid is flat but with smooth chemical variations that lead to a space-dependent local contact a…
