Wetting of two-component drops: Marangoni contraction versus autophobing
Michiel A. Hack, Wojciech Kwieciński, Olinka Ramírez-Soto +4
The wetting properties of multi-component liquids are crucial to numerous industrial applications. The mechanisms that determine the contact angles for such liquids remain poorly u…

Self-Similar Liquid Lens Coalescence
Michiel A. Hack, Walter Tewes, Qingguang Xie +4
A basic feature of liquid drops is that they can merge upon contact to form a larger drop. In spite of its importance to various applications, drop coalescence on pre-wetted substr…

Liquid dewetting under a thin elastic film
Rafael D. Schulman, John F. Niven, Michiel A. Hack +2
We study the dewetting of liquid films capped by a thin elastomeric layer. When the tension in the elastomer is isotropic, circular holes grow at a rate which decreases with increa…
