Wetting: statics and dynamics

PG De Gennes - Reviews of modern physics, 1985 - APS
The wetting of solids by liquids is connected to physical chemistry (wettability), to statistical
physics (pinning of the contact line, wetting transitions, etc.), to long-range forces (van der …

Wetting and spreading

D Bonn, J Eggers, J Indekeu, J Meunier, E Rolley - Reviews of modern physics, 2009 - APS
Wetting phenomena are ubiquitous in nature and technology. A solid substrate exposed to
the environment is almost invariably covered by a layer of fluid material. In this review, the …

Long-scale evolution of thin liquid films

A Oron, SH Davis, SG Bankoff - Reviews of modern physics, 1997 - APS
Macroscopic thin liquid films are entities that are important in biophysics, physics, and
