Stick-slip sliding of water drops on chemically heterogeneous surfaces.
We present a comprehensive study of water drops sliding down chemically heterogeneous surfaces formed by a periodic pattern of alternating hydrophobic and hydrophilic stripes. Drops are found to undergo a stick-slip motion whose average speed is an order of magnitude smaller than that measured on a homogeneous surface having the same static contact angle. This motion is the result of the period...
متن کاملRandom hydrophilic-hydrophobic copolymers
We study a single statistical amphiphilic copolymer chain AB in a selective solvent (e.g. water). Two situations are considered. In the annealed case, hydrophilic (A) and hydrophobic (B) monomers are at local chemical equilibrium and both the fraction of A monomers and their location along the chain can vary, whereas in the quenched case (which is relevant to proteins), the chemical sequence al...
متن کاملDrops can bounce from perfectly hydrophilic surfaces
Drops are well known to rebound from superhydrophobic surfaces and from liquid surfaces. Here, we show that drops can also rebound from a superhydrophilic solid surface such as an atomically smooth mica sheet. However, the coefficient of restitution CR associated with this process is significantly lower than that associated with rebound from superhydrophobic surfaces. A direct imaging method al...
متن کاملFibronectin Adsorption on Hydrophilic and Hydrophobic Surfaces
Studies have been carried out on the adsorption properties of plasma fibronectin (FN) on hydrophobic and hydrophilic surfaces. The hydrophobic and hydrophilic surfaces used were nonwettable bacteriological dishes and wettable tissue culture dishes, respectively. At low plasma FN concentrations, there was more plasma FN binding to hydrophobic surfaces than to hydrophilic surfaces. Under these co...
متن کاملEquilibrium of drops on inclined hydrophilic surfaces.
Why does not gravity make drops slip down the inclined surfaces, e.g., plant leaves? The current explanation is based on the existence of surface inhomogeneities, which cause a sustaining force that pins the contact line. Following this theory, the drop remains in equilibrium until a critical value of the sustaining force is reached. We propose an alternative analysis, from the point of view of...
