Elastocapillary deformations on partially-wetting substrates: rival contact-line models.
A partially-wetting liquid can deform the underlying elastic substrate upon which it rests. This situation requires the development of theoretical models to describe the wetting forces imparted by the drop onto the solid substrate, particularly those at the contact-line. We construct a general solution using a displacement potential function for the elastic deformations within a finite elastic ...
متن کاملContact line motion for partially wetting fluids.
We study the flow close to an advancing contact line in the limit of a small capillary number. To take into account wetting effects, both long- and short-ranged contributions to the disjoining pressure are taken into account. In front of the contact line, there is a microscopic film corresponding to a minimum of the interaction potential. We compute the parameters of the contact line solution r...
متن کاملElastocapillary instability under partial wetting conditions: bending versus buckling.
The elastocapillary instability of a flexible plate plunged in a liquid bath is analyzed theoretically. We show that the plate can bend due to two separate destabilizing mechanisms, when the liquid is partially wetting the solid. For contact angles θ(e) > π/2, the capillary forces acting tangential to the surface are compressing the plate and can induce a classical buckling instability. However...
متن کاملTriple-point wetting on rough substrates.
The influence of substrate roughness on the wetting scenario of adsorbed van der Waals films is investigated by theory and experiment. Calculating the bending free energy penalty of a solid sheet picking up the substrate roughness, we show that a finite roughness always leads to triple-point wetting reducing the widths of the adsorbed solid films considerably as compared to that of smooth subst...
متن کاملWetting films on chemically heterogeneous substrates.
Based on a microscopic density functional theory, we investigate the morphology of thin liquid-like wetting films adsorbed on substrates endowed with well-defined chemical heterogeneities. As paradigmatic cases we focus on a single chemical step and on a single stripe. In view of applications in microfluidics, the accuracy of guiding liquids by chemical microchannels is discussed. Finally we gi...
