Dynamic wetting is an important interfacial phenomenon in many industrial applications.
There have been many excellent reviews of dynamic wetting, especially on super …

The spreading dynamics of a droplet of pure liquid deposited on a rigid, nonsoluble
substrate has been extensively investigated. In a purely hydrodynamic description, the …

Droplet-based microfluidics turned out to be an efficient and adjustable platform for digital
analysis, encapsulation of cells, drug formulation, and polymerase chain reaction. Typically …

We investigate the rapid spreading dynamics of a viscoelastic drop on a solid. Upon contact,
surface tension drives a fast motion of the contact line along the substrate. Here we resolve …

When a liquid drop is gently deposited on a wetting solid surface, it spreads due to capillary
forces until it reaches a thermodynamical equilibrium set by the relative surface energies of …

Temperature dependences of the contact angle θ (T) between (i) specially grown tilt grain
boundaries (GBs) in Al and the Zn-rich melt;(ii) tilt GBs in Zn and the Al-rich melt; and (iii) tilt …

The spreading dynamics of power-law fluids, both shear-thinning and shear-thickening
fluids, that completely or partially wet solid substrate was investigated theoretically and …

When a liquid drop makes initial contact with any surface, an unbalanced surface tension
force drives the contact line, causing spreading. For Newtonian liquids, either liquid inertia …

This study investigated the drop-spreading dynamics of pseudo-plastic and dilatant fluids.
Experimental results indicated that the spreading law for both fluids is related to rheological …

We studied the effect of relative humidity on the initial stages of spreading dynamics for
drops of whole human blood. A range of relative humidities from 8% to 90% was studied …
