Classic theory predicts a unique value of equilibrium contact angle, θo, for a given solid/liquid/fluid system. However, wetting phenomena are often very complicated in practice, with contact angle hysteresis being a major source of problems in interpretation. Contact angle variability is related to several factors, but we consider two which are particularly relevant to polymeric substrates - effects of orientation of molecular chains near the surface and local solid strain at the wetting front. A model is proposed to explain “stick-slip” motion of the triple line. 相似文献

Our understanding of interfacial phenomena at the surfaces of critical systems, and in particular at the surfaces of critical binary liquid mixtures, has improved significantly in the past decade. There is now substantial agreement between theory and experiment. In this paper we review recent experimental progress, provide a conceptual framework within which the majority of these experiments can now be understood, and discuss critically any remaining unresolved discrepancies between experiments or with theory. 相似文献

Contact angle variability, leading to errors in interpretation, arises from various sources. Contact angle hysteresis (history-dependent wetting) and contact angle multiplicity (corrugation of three-phase contact line) are irrespectively the most frequent causes of this uncertainty. Secondary effects also derived from the distribution of chemical defects on solid surfaces, and so due to the existence of boundaries, are the known "stick/jump-slip" phenomena. Currently, the underlying mechanisms in contact angle hysteresis and their connection to "stick/jump-slip" effects and the prediction of thermodynamic contact angle are not fully understood. In this study, axial models of smooth heterogeneous surface were chosen in order to mitigate contact angle multiplicity. For each axial pattern, advancing, receding and equilibrium contact angles were predicted from the local minima location of the system free energy. A heuristic model, based on the local Young equation for spherical drops on patch-wise axial patterns, was fruitfully tested from the results of free-energy minimization. Despite the very simplistic surface model chosen in this study, it allowed clarifying concepts usually misleading in wetting phenomena. 相似文献

Forced or spontaneous wetting of a solid surface in an isothermal case is governed by an outer flow and by wetting properties of the substrate. These properties are determined by the substrate wettability and morphology. Wetting and subsequent or simultaneous icing of surfaces are mutually influenced also by the microscopic processes associated with phase change in the vicinity of the contact angle and in the outer region. In this review, the physical phenomena influencing the wetting and icing of substrates and the latest developments in this field are reviewed. 相似文献

The behavior of thin wetting films on chemically patterned surfaces was investigated. The patterning was performed by means of imprinting of micro-grid on methylated glass surface with UV-light (λ=184.8 nm). Thus imprinted image of the grid contained hydrophilic cells and hydrophobic bars on the glass surface. For this aim three different patterns of grids were utilized with small, medium and large size of cells. The experiment showed that the drainage of the wetting aqueous films was not affected by the type of surface patterning. However, after film rupturing in the cases of small and medium cells of the patterned grid the liquid from the wetting film underwent fast self-organization in form of regularly ordered droplets covering completely the cells of the grid. The droplets reduced significantly their size upon time due to evaporation. In the cases of the largest cell grid, a wet spot on the place of the imprinted grid was formed after film rupturing. This wet spot disassembled slowly in time. In addition, formation of a periodical zigzag three-phase contact line (TPCL) was observed. This is a first study from the planned series of studies on this topic. 相似文献

Molecular dynamics simulations were used to study the wetting of nanogrooved PE and PVC polymer surfaces. The contact angles, equilibrium states, and equilibrium shapes of two nanosized water droplets were analyzed on surfaces with 1D-arranged periodic roughness of various dimensions. The composite solid-liquid contact, which is preferred in practical applications and in which a droplet rests on top of the surface asperities, was observed on the roughest PE surfaces, whereas water filled the similar but slightly deeper grooves on PVC surfaces. The transition from the wetted to composite contact regime occurred when the contact angle with a flat surface reached the value at which the apparent Wenzel and Cassie contact angles are equal. Droplets on grooved PE surfaces with the composite contact exhibited contact angles in agreement with Cassie's equation, but the increase in hydrophobicity on smoother surfaces with the wetted contact was less than expected from Wenzel's equation. The difference between the simulated and theoretical values decreased as the dimensions of the surface grooves increased. Only a slight increase or even a slight decrease in the contact angles was observed on the grooved PVC surfaces, owing to the less hydrophobic nature of the flat PVC surface. On both polymers, the nanodroplet assumed a spherical shape in the composite contact. Only minor anisotropy was observed in the wetted contact on PE surfaces, whereas even a highly anisotropic shape was seen on the grooved PVC surfaces. The contact angle in the direction of the grooves was smaller than that in the perpendicular direction, and the difference between the two angles decreased with the increasing size of the water droplet. 相似文献

Many natural superhydrophobic structures have hierarchical two-tier roughness which is empirically known to promote robust superhydrophobicity. We report the wetting and dewetting properties of two-tier roughness as a function of the wettability of the working fluid, where the surface tension of water/ethanol drops is tuned by the mixing ratio, and compare the results to one-tier roughness. When the ethanol concentration of deposited drops is gradually increased on one-tier control samples, the impalement of the microtier-only surface occurs at a lower ethanol concentration compared to the nanotier-only surface. The corresponding two-tier surface exhibits a two-stage wetting transition, first for the impalement of the microscale texture and then for the nanoscale one. The impaled drops are subsequently subjected to vibration-induced dewetting. Drops impaling one-tier surfaces could not be dewetted; neither could drops impaling both tiers of the two-tier roughness. However, on the two-tier surface, drops impaling only the microscale roughness exhibited a full dewetting transition upon vibration. Our work suggests that two-tier roughness is essential for preventing catastrophic, irreversible wetting of superhydrophobic surfaces. 相似文献

Rough and patterned copper surfaces were produced using etching and, separately, using electrodeposition. In both of these approaches the roughness can be varied in a controlled manner and, when hydrophobized, these surfaces show contact angles that increase with increasing roughness to above 160 degrees . We show transitions from a Wenzel mode, whereby the liquid follows the contours of the copper surface, to a Cassie-Baxter mode, whereby the liquid bridges between features on the surface. Measured contact angles on etched samples could be modeled quantitatively to within a few degrees by the Wenzel and Cassie-Baxter equations. The contact angle hysteresis on these surfaces initially increased and then decreased as the contact angle increased. The maximum occurred at a surface area where the equilibrium contact angle would suggest that a substantial proportion of the surface area was bridged. 相似文献

This paper examines the mechanics of evaporation of liquid droplets in direct contact with heated surfaces whose temperature is below the maximum boiling-rate point. The study leads to a classification of the evaporation mode into three categories (i) where the evaporation is controlled by heat transfer through the droplet, (ii) where conduction in the heating plate is the controlling mechanism, and (iii) the intermediate case, where both effects are of comparable importance. A dimensionless parameter is identified which may be employed to characterize the mode of evaporation. Experimental results indicate the general validity of the theoretical analysis. 相似文献

Wetting of regularly structured gold surfaces 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

In this study we report results for a systematic study of the wetting of structured gold surfaces formed by electrodeposition through monolayer templates of close-packed uniform submicrometer spheres. Removal of the template after deposition leaves a regular hexagonal array of sphere segment pores where the depth of the pores and, thus, the topography of the surface are controlled by the thickness of gold deposited through the template. We find that, as the thickness of the porous film increases up to the radius of the pores, the apparent contact angle for water on the surface increases from 70 degrees on the flat surface to more that 130 degrees , and then with increasing thickness above the radius of the pores the apparent contact angle decreases back toward 70 degrees . We show that these changes in the apparent contact angle agree with the model of Cassie and Baxter for nonwetted surfaces even though the gold itself is hydrophilic. We also show that the apparent contact angle is independent of the diameter of the pores over the range 400-800 nm. This is the first reported example showing the change of a hydrophilic surface (theta; < 90 degrees ) into a hydrophobic surface (theta; > 90 degrees ) purely by control of the surface topography. The role of the pore shape and size in stabilizing the nonwetting (Cassie-Baxter) droplet on the surface is discussed. 相似文献

The wetting and the self-cleaning properties (the latter is often called the "Lotus-Effect") of three types of superhydrophobic surfaces have been investigated: silicon wafer specimens with different regular arrays of spikes hydrophobized by chemical treatment, replicates of water-repellent leaves of plants, and commercially available metal foils which were additionally hydrophobized by means of a fluorinated agent. Water droplets rolled off easily from those silicon samples which had a microstructure consisting of rather slender spikes with narrow pitches. Such samples could be cleaned almost completely from artificial particulate contaminations by a fog consisting of water droplets (diameter range, 8-20 microm). Some metal foils and some replicates had two levels of roughening. Because of this, a complete removal of all particles was not possible using artificial fog. However, water drops with some amount of kinetic impact energy were able to clean these surfaces perfectly. A substrate where pronounced structures in the range below 5 microm were lacking could not be cleaned by means of fog because this treatment resulted in a continuous water film on the samples. 相似文献

We report on the interaction of water molecules with polar and nonpolar stoichiometric surfaces of cubic silicon carbide, as described by ab initio molecular dynamics at finite temperature. Our calculations show that, irrespective of coverage, in the gas phase water spontaneously dissociates on both polar Si-terminated (001) and nonpolar (110) surfaces, following similar mechanisms. The specific geometric arrangement of atoms on the outermost surface layer is responsible for water orientation and coordination and thus plays a major role in determining surface reactivity. This is found to be the case also for water on a computer-generated amorphous-SiC surface. In addition, from a macroscopic standpoint, the ability of the two crystalline surfaces with different polarities to induce water dissociation can be related to the similarities of their ionization potentials. 相似文献

We study the wetting by water of complex "hydrophobic-hydrophilic" surfaces made of a hydrophobic substrate covered by a hydrophilic polymer brush. Polystyrene (PS) substrates covered with polystyrene- block-poly(acrylic acid) PS- b-PAA diblock copolymer layers were fabricated by Langmuir-Schaefer depositions and analyzed by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and ellipsometry. On bare PS substrate, we measured advancing angles theta A = 93 +/- 1 degrees and receding angles theta R = 81 +/- 1 degrees . On PS covered with poorly anchored PS- b-PAA layers, we observed large contact angle hysteresis, theta A approximately 90 degrees and theta R approximately 0 degrees , that we attributed to nanometric scale dewetting of the PS- b-PAA layers. On well-anchored PS- b-PAA layers that form homogeneous PAA brushes, a wetting transition from partial to total wetting occurs versus the amount deposited: both theta A and theta R decrease close to zero. A model is proposed, based on the Young-Dupre equation, that takes into account the interfacial pressure of the brush Pi, which was determined experimentally, and the free energy of hydration of the polyelectrolyte monomers Delta G PAA (hyd), which is the only fitting parameter. With Delta G PAA (hyd) approximately -1300 J/mol, the model renders the wetting transition for all samples and explains why the wetting transition depends mainly on the average thickness of the brush and weakly on the length of PAA chains. 相似文献

Wetting of nanopatterned surfaces: the hexagonal disk surface 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Metropolis Monte Carlo simulations are used to investigate the wetting of chemically nanopatterned surfaces, for the case of hexagonal disk patterns where liquid wishes to wet high-energy circular patches but not wet the background surface. We calculate the density profiles of saturated liquid adsorbed on a variety of such substrates, spanning the nanoscale to atomic scale patterns. In addition, statistical mechanical sum rules are used to obtain interfacial order parameters and interfacial free energies. We observe that Cassie's law is typically obeyed, together with an associated breakdown of the mechanical interpretation of Young's equation, for pattern wavelengths greater than 15 molecular diameters. Here, the adsorbed fluid exists as an array of hemi-drops. At about half this wavelength, the breakdown of Cassie's law lies within realistic energy scales and is associated with the unbending of the outer surface of adsorbed films. For atomic scale patterns, the usual interpretation of Young's equation is restored for films thicker than one monolayer. At high chemical contrast, when the monolayer in contact with high-energy regions would prefer to be crystalline, we observe a variety of exotic interfacial phenomena that may have technological significance. 相似文献

The wetting/dewetting behavior of thin films of lightly sulfonated low molecular weight polystyrene (SPS) ionomers spin-coated onto silica surfaces were studied using atomic force microscopy (AFM), contact angle measurements, and electron microscopy. The effects of the sulfonation level, the choice of the cation, the solvent used to spin-coat the films, and the molecular weight of the ionomer were investigated. Small angle X-ray scattering was used to determine the bulk microstructure of the films. The addition of the sulfonate groups suppressed the dewetting behavior of the PS above its glass transition temperature, e.g. no dewetting occurred even after 240 h of annealing at 120 degrees C. Increasing the sulfonation level led to more homogeneous and smoother surfaces. The choice of the cation used affected the wetting properties, but not in a predictable manner. When tetrahydrofuran (THF) or a THF/methanol mixed solvent was used for spin-casting, a submicron-textured surface morphology was produced, which may be a consequence of spinodal decomposition of the film surface during casting. Upon annealing for long times, the particles coalesced into a coherent, nonwetted film. 相似文献

Wetting properties of the multiscaled nanostructured polymer and metallic superhydrophobic surfaces 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

A superhydrophobic surface is produced from industrial grade polymer materials. The surface comprises partly disordered triple-scaled arrays of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) globules. An inherently superhydrophobic metallic surface is produced with polymer template. The mathematical model based on the Cassie-Baxter hypothesis of air trapping under a water drop is built, which gives the apparent contact angle on the manifold-scaled interface. The presence of several scales itself is not a sufficient condition of hydrophobicity of inherently wettable surfaces. The geometrical features favoring the increase of the vapor-water interface fraction are necessary for this phenomenon. 相似文献

The wetting of two different model cellulose surfaces has been studied; a regenerated cellulose (RG) surface prepared by spin-coating, and a novel multilayer film of poly(ethyleneimine) and a carboxymethylated microfibrillated cellulose (MFC). The cellulose films were characterized in detail using atomic force microscopy (AFM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). AFM indicates smooth and continuous films on a nanometer scale and the RMS roughness of the RG cellulose and MFC surfaces was determined to be 3 and 6 nm, respectively. The cellulose films were modified by coating with various amounts of an anionic fluorosurfactant, perfluorooctadecanoic acid, or covalently modified with pentadecafluorooctanyl chloride. The fluorinated cellulose films were used to follow the spreading mechanisms of three different oil mixtures. The viscosity and surface tension of the oils were found to be essential parameters governing the spreading kinetics on these surfaces. XPS and dispersive surface energy measurements were made on the cellulose films coated with perfluorooctadecanoic acid. A strong correlation was found between the surface concentration of fluorine, the dispersive surface energy and the contact angle of castor oil on the surface. A dispersive surface energy less than 18 mN/m was required in order for the cellulose surface to be non-wetting (theta e>90 degrees ) by castor oil. 相似文献
