Wetting and evaporation of sessile droplets are ubiquitous in nature and of importance to
many industrial and everyday processes. While most of the research on sessile droplets has …

The wetting of solid surfaces using liquid droplets has been studied since the early 1800s.
Thomas Young and Pierre-Simon Laplace investigated the wetting properties, as well as the …

This paper reviews publications that have fortified our understanding of the electrowetting-
on-dielectric (EWOD) actuation mechanism. Over the last decade, growing interest in EWOD …

The revealing of the phenomenon of superhydrophobicity (the" lotus-effect") has stimulated
an interest in wetting of real (rough and chemically heterogeneous) surfaces. In spite of the …

Wetting and Spreading Dynamics explains how surface forces acting at the three-phase
contact line determine equilibrium, hysteresis contact angles, and other equilibrium and …

Wetting phenomena and superhydrophobic surfaces are ubiquitous in nature and have
recently been explored widely in scientific and engineering applications. The understanding …

The wetting and spreading of nanofluids composed of liquid suspensions of nanoparticles
have significant technological applications. Recent studies have revealed that, compared to …

Conservation of energy is used to derive a thermodynamically-consistent contact angle, θ t,
when fluid phase 1 displaces phase 2 in a porous medium. Assuming no change in …

Nature is the source of human design inspiration. In order to adapt to the environment better,
creatures in nature have formed various morphological structures during billions of years of …

Ferrofluids are liquids exhibiting remarkably strong response to magnetic fields, which leads
to fascinating properties useful in various applications. Understanding the wetting properties …
