Wetting and cavitation pathways on nanodecorated surfaces
Matteo Amabili, Emanuele Lisi, Alberto Giacomello +1
In this contribution we study wetting and nucleation of vapor bubbles on nanodecorated surfaces via free energy molecular dynamics simulations. The results shed light on the stabil…
Unraveling the Salvinia paradox: design principles for submerged superhydrophobicity
Matteo Amabili, Alberto Giacomello, Simone Meloni +1
The complex structure of the Salvinia molesta is investigated via rare event molecular dynamics simulations. Results show that a hydrophilic/hydrophobic patterning together with a…
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…
