Sliding of water droplets on microstructured hydrophobic surfaces.
Sliding behaviors of liquid droplets on solid surfaces are among the fundamental results of wettability. To remedy the lack of quantitative correlation between sliding angle and roughness of the surface, which is known to be effective at enhancing wettability, we report in this paper the observation that the onset of water droplets sliding under gravity on inclined micropillar-structured hydrop...
متن کاملInteraction between hydrophobic surfaces with metastable intervening liquid
Molecular simulation is used to elucidate hydrophobic interaction at atmospheric pressure where liquid water between apolar walls is metastable with respect to capillary evaporation. The steep increase of the estimated activation barrier of evaporation with surface–surface separation explains the apparent stability of the liquid at distances more than an order of magnitude below the thermodynam...
متن کاملPatterning flows using grooved surfaces.
Through a simple analytical description we quantify how pressure-driven flows over grooved surfaces develop transverse components, which, for shallow grooves, can be modeled with simple anisotropic effective boundary conditions. Helical recirculation results in channels or capillaries with grooved walls. An experimental validation of our model is presented. Our analysis provides a workable guid...
متن کاملEvaporation of droplets on strongly hydrophobic substrates.
The manner in which the extreme modes of droplet evaporation (namely, the constant contact radius and the constant contact angle modes) become indistinguishable on strongly hydrophobic substrates is described. Simple asymptotic expressions are obtained which provide good approximations to the evolutions of the contact radius, the contact angle, and the volume of droplets evaporating in the extr...
متن کاملOleoplaning droplets on lubricated surfaces
Recently, there has been much interest in using lubricated surfaces to achieve extreme liquid repellency: a foreign droplet immiscible with the underlying lubricant layer was shown to slide o at a small tilt angle<5. This behaviour was hypothesized to arise from a thin lubricant overlayer film sandwiched between the droplet and solid substrate, but this has not been observed experimentally. Her...
