Intrusion of liquids into liquid infused surfaces with nanoscale roughness
Swarn Lata Singh, Lothar Schimmele, S. Dietrich
We present a theoretical study of the intrusion of an ambient liquid into pores of a nano-corrugated wall w. The pores are prefilled with a liquid lubricant which adheres to the wa…
Wetting behavior of a colloidal particle trapped at a composite liquid-vapor interface of a binary liquid mixture
Hyojeong Kim, Lothar Schimmele, S. Dietrich
A partially miscible binary liquid mixture, composed of A and B particles, is considered theoretically under conditions for which a stable A-rich liquid phase is in thermal equilib…
Wetting of soft substrates
M. Napiórkowski, L. Schimmele, S. Dietrich
Within mean-field theory we study wetting of elastic substrates. Our analysis is based on a grand canonical free energy functional of the fluid number density and of the substrate…
Cassie-Wenzel transition of a binary liquid mixture on a nano-sculptured surface
Swarn Lata Singh, Lothar Schimmele, S. Dietrich
The Cassie-Wenzel transition of a symmetric binary liquid mixture in contact with a nano-corrugated wall is studied. The corrugation consists of a periodic array of nano-pits with…
Wetting hysteresis induced by nanodefects
Alberto Giacomello, Lothar Schimmele, Siegfried Dietrich
Wetting of actual surfaces involves diverse hysteretic phenomena stemming from ever-present imperfections. Here we clarify the origin of wetting hysteresis for a liquid front advan…
Structures of simple liquids in contact with nanosculptured surfaces
Swarn Lata Singh, Lothar Schimmele, S. Dietrich
We present a density functional study of Lennard-Jones liquids in contact with a nano-corrugated wall. The corresponding substrate potential is taken to exhibit a repulsive hard co…
