چکیده

The transition between the Cassie and Wenzel wetting regimes has been observed under vertical vibration of a water drop placed on a rough micrometrically scaled polymer pattern. The transition takes place under the constant force per unit length of the triple contact line, not under constant pressure. A study of the vibrating drop deposited on the rough surface supplied valuable information concerning the Cassie-Wenzel wetting transition.

Electrical switching of wetting states on superhydrophobic surfaces: a route towards reversible Cassie-to-Wenzel transitions.

We demonstrate that the equilibrium shape of the composite interface between superhydrophobic surfaces and drops in the superhydrophobic Cassie state under electrowetting is determined by the balance of the Maxwell stress and the Laplace pressure. Energy barriers due to pinning of contact lines at the edges of the hydrophobic pillars control the transition from the Cassie to the Wenzel state. B...

تأثیر نوع ساختار و زبری سطح بر زاویه ترشوندگی یک چدن هیپویوتکتیک با آب

Preliminary results of a research on the effects of microstructure and surface roughness of a hypoeutectic cast iron on its wetting angle are presented in this article. For this purpose, molten cast iron was solidified at different cooling rates to produce two samples of the same composition, i.e. a gray cast iron with A type flake graphite and a white cast iron. Two samples were then prepared ...

Modified Wenzel and Cassie Equations for Wetting on Rough Surfaces

We study a stationary wetting problem on rough and inhomogeneous solid surfaces. We derive a new formula for the apparent contact angle by asymptotic two-scale homogenization method. The formula is reduced to a modified Wenzel equation for geometrically rough surfaces and a modified Cassie equation for chemically inhomogeneous surfaces. Unlike the classical Wenzel and Cassie equations, the modi...

Fully reversible transition from Wenzel to Cassie-Baxter states on corrugated superhydrophobic surfaces.

Liquid drops on textured surfaces show different dynamical behaviors depending on their wetting states. They are extremely mobile when they are supported by composite solid-liquid-air interfaces (Cassie-Baxter state) and immobile when they fully wet the textured surfaces (Wenzel state). By reversibly switching between these two states, it will be possible to achieve control over the fluid dynam...

Wetting Transition of the Ethanol−Water Droplet on Smooth and Textured Surfaces

The wetting behavior of an ethanol−water droplet is investigated on graphitic smooth and rough surfaces using molecular dynamics simulations. On a smooth surface, ethanol molecules prefer to stay at the vapor−liquid and solid− liquid interfaces. The contact angle of a droplet on a smooth surface decreases with an increase in the ethanol concentration from 0 to 30 wt %. The corresponding line te...
