Patterned deposition at moving contact lines
U Thiele - Advances in colloid and interface science, 2014 - Elsevier
When a simple or complex liquid recedes from a smooth solid substrate it often leaves a
homogeneous or structured deposit behind. In the case of a receding non-volatile pure …

[HTML][HTML] Nonequilibrium configurations of swelling polymer brush layers induced by spreading drops of weakly volatile oil
Polymer brush layers are responsive materials that swell in contact with good solvents and
their vapors. We deposit drops of an almost completely wetting volatile oil onto an oleophilic …
