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…
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…
Conceptual aspects of line tensions
L. Schimmele, M. Napiorkowski, S. Dietrich
We analyze two representative systems containing a three-phase-contact line: a liquid lens at a fluid--fluid interface and a liquid drop in contact with a gas phase residing on a s…
