In thermodynamic equilibrium, the contact angle is related by Young's equation to the
interfacial energies. Unfortunately, it is practically impossible to measure the equilibrium …

Dynamic wetting is a ubiquitous phenomenon and frequently observed in our daily life, as
exemplified by the famous lotus effect. It is also an interfacial process of upmost importance …

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

A review of the characteristics of hydrophobicity is presented, with the goal of investigating
the relationship, if any, between the contact angle (a macroscopically observed property) …

Despite several decades long research on moving contact line dynamics due to its
remarkable role in interfacial science and technological fields, there is still a significant lack …

Many surfaces reversibly change their structure and interfacial energy upon being in contact
with a liquid. Such surfaces adapt to a specific liquid. We propose the first order kinetic …

Wettability as determined from contact angle measurements is a suitable parameter for
characterizing the physical bonding of a polymer matrix and reinforcing fibers, but it is very …

The paramount importance of wetting applications and the significant economic value of
controlling wetting-based industrial processes has stimulated a deep interest in wetting …

Bamboo fibres recently attracted interest as a sustainable reinforcement fibre in (polymer)
composite materials, due to specific mechanical properties which are comparable to glass …

Large-scale molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of liquid drops spreading on a solid
substrate have been carried out for a very wide range of solid–liquid interactions and …
