Kinetics of Droplet Cloaking and Wetting Ridge Growth on Lubricated Polymer Brushes
Antonio Torregrosa Abellán, Enqing Liu, Vincent Siekman +3
We investigate the kinetics of wetting ridge growth and droplet cloaking on lubricant-infused polymer brushes using a combination of experiments, molecular dynamics simulations, an…
Wetting on Silicone Surfaces
Lukas Hauer, Abhinav Naga, Rodrique G. M. Badr +3
Silicone is frequently used as a model system to investigate and tune wetting on soft materials. Silicone is biocompatible and shows excellent thermal, chemical, and UV stability.…
Cloaking Transition of Droplets on Lubricated Brushes
Rodrique G. M. Badr, Lukas Hauer, Doris Vollmer +1
We study the equilibrium properties and the wetting behavior of a simple liquid on a polymer brush, with and without presence of lubricant by multibody Dissipative Particle Dynamic…
Dynamics of Droplets Moving on Lubricated Polymer Brushes
Rodrique G. M. Badr, Lukas Hauer, Doris Vollmer +1
Understanding the dynamics of drops on polymer-coated surfaces is crucial for optimizing applications such as self-cleaning materials or microfluidic devices. While the static and…
