Wetting 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...
متن کاملPhase diagram for morphological transitions of wetting films on chemically structured substrates
Using an interface displacement model we calculate the shapes of thin liquidlike films adsorbed on flat substrates containing a chemical stripe. We determine the entire phase diagram of morphological phase transitions in these films as function of temperature, undersaturation, and stripe width.
متن کاملDroplet spreading on chemically heterogeneous substrates.
Consider the spreading dynamics of a two-dimensional droplet over chemically heterogeneous substrates. Assuming small slopes and strong surface tension effects, a long-wave expansion of the Stokes equations yields a single evolution equation for the droplet thickness. The contact line singularity is removed by assuming slip at the liquid-solid interface. The chemical nature of the substrate is ...
متن کاملWetting phenomena of binary liquid mixtures on chemically altered substrates.
We report measurements of the state of wetting of two liquid mixtures at coexistence near their respective critical consolute temperatures. Borosilicate glass capillary tubes were reacted with hexamethyldisilazane to produce substrates of uniform and controlled silylation. Surfaces of low coverage exhibit a series of first-order partial to complete wetting transitions and obey a short-range for...
متن کاملWetting films on chemically modified surfaces: An x-ray study.
The wetting of silicon wafers and silicon wafers coated with alkylsiloxane monolayers by saturated vapors of cyclohexane and methanol were studied using x-ray specular reflection. Differentially heating the substrate surface relative to the temperature of a liquid reservoir was used to probe the disjoining pressure as a function of the film thickness and surface chemistry. Uncoated silicon wafe...
