The surface free energy of polyacrylonitrile carbon fibers was investigated by using the Wilhelmy technique. The difference in surface free energy between immersion and emersion was observed for the carbon fiber pyrolyzed at 2500 °C.In contrast, the hysteresis disappeared with repyrolyzation of the carbon fibers at 3000 °C. Auger electron spectroscopic analysis indicated that the surface of the latter carbon fiber (repyrolyzed at 3000 °C) consisted of the basal planes of graphite. Rough surface topography of the carbon fiber repyrolyzed at 3000 °C, as observed by scanning electron microscope, did not affect the hysteresis. Therefore, the contact angle hysteresis was attributed to the chemical adsorbants on the activation sites of the fiber surfaces, as detected by Auger electron spectroscopy.  相似文献

The influence of local and nonlocal transport processes of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) molecules on dynamic contact angles and contact angle hysteresis was studied in a rotating drum setup. The influence of long-range surfactant transport was analyzed by hindering selectively the surface or the bulk transport via movable barriers. With increasing hindrance of the surfactant transport, the receding contact angle decreased at all withdrawing velocities in the presence of CTAB. The control experiment with pure water was unaffected by the presence of the barriers. Dynamic contact angles are, therefore, not only influenced by short-range effects like Marangoni stresses close to the contact line, but also by long-range transport processes (like diffusion and advection) between the regions close to the receding and advancing contact lines.  相似文献

Irradiation of metallic surfaces using ultra-short pulse laser results in a dual-scale structure. While metallic surfaces are superhydrophilic immediately after laser irradiation, prolonged exposure to air renders surfaces superhydrophobic due to surface reactions and deposition of carbonaceous materials onto the surface. In this work, we have fabricated a paraboloid microstructure, which is analyzed thermodynamically through the use of the Gibbs free energy to obtain the equilibrium contact angle and contact angle hysteresis. The effects of the geometrical details on maximizing the superhydrophobicity of the nanopatterned surface are also discussed in an attempt to design surfaces with desired and/or optimum wetting characteristics.  相似文献

The effect of surface heterogeneity on contact angle hysteresis is studied by using the model of Neumann and Good of a vertical plate with horizontal heterogeneous strips. The results of this study explain well known, but not understood patterns of contact angle behaviour: On the one hand, the advancing contact angle on a carefully prepared solid surface is generally reproducible; on the other hand, even a very small amount of surface heterogeneity may cause the receding contact angle to be less reproducible and to depend on several non-thermodynamic factors.  相似文献

Polyimide surfaces exposed to simulated low Earth orbit space environment, i.e., under hyperthermal atomic oxygen bombardment, were characterized by using atomic force microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and contact angle measurements. The surface analytical results showed that the roughness and the O/C ratio at the atomic oxygen-exposed polyimide surface increased with increasing atomic oxygen fluence. The advancing and receding contact angles decreased with increasing O/C ratios at the polyimide surfaces. The Lifshitz-van der Waals component, the acid and base parameters of the surface free energy of polyimide films were calculated from the contact angles. The base parameter increased with increasing O/C ratio, whereas the acid parameter and the Lifshitz-van der Waals component did not show a remarkable change. These analytical results agree with the in situ XPS data showing the formation of surface functional groups due to atomic oxygen exposure. It was demonstrated in this study that the polyimide surface in a low Earth orbit space environment may become hydrophilic due to the bombardment by atomic oxygen.

In this paper, the contact angle hysteresis (CAH) of nanodroplets on both rigid and flexible substrates with different wettabilities was studied using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The critical shear stress (CSS) that determines the motion of the contact line (CL) was investigated. A theoretical correlation between CAH and CSS was proposed. Both CAH and CSS reflect the energy dissipation at the CL of the droplet in response to the exerted force. MD results of CAH are qualitatively consistent with the theoretical model. Simulation results also show that, for the same liquid–solid interactions, CAH on the flexible substrate is larger than that on the rigid substrate. These findings aim to enhance our understanding of the mechanism of the CAH at the nanoscale.  相似文献

A series of pillar-like patterned silicon wafers with different pillar sizes and spacing are fabricated by photolithography and further modified by a self-assembled fluorosilanated monolayer. The dynamic contact angles of water on these surfaces are carefully measured and found to be consistent with the theoretical predictions of the Cassie model and the Wenzel model. When a water drop is at the Wenzel state, its contact angle hysteresis increases along with an increase in the surface roughness. While the surface roughness is further raised beyond its transition roughness (from the Wenzel state to the Cassie state), the contact angle hysteresis (or receding contact angle) discontinuously drops (or jumps) to a lower (or higher) value. When a water drop is at the Cassie state, its contact angle hysteresis strongly depends on the solid fraction and has nothing to do with the surface roughness. Even for a superhydrophobic surface, the contact angle hysteresis may still exhibit a value as high as 41 degrees for the solid fraction of 0.563.  相似文献

It was recently reported that the ease of removal of sporelings of green seaweed Ulva under shear stress from the polymer surfaces was found to be linearly and positively correlated with contact angle and wetting hysteresis, i.e., the higher the hysteresis, the greater the removal. Motivated by this report, we examined the relationship between the bioadhesion of blood platelets and proteins with contact angle hysteresis of solid substrates using the data of published papers. It was determined that there is a linear and positive relationship between the contact angle hysteresis and bioadhesion of both blood platelets and γ-globulin protein contacting the solid substrates, i.e., the higher the hysteresis, the greater the bioadhesion. The reasons are discussed and it is proposed that testing the effect of CAH on the adhesion strengths of biomaterials on surfaces is useful in order to gain a better insight on the bioadhesion mechanism.  相似文献

In this article, the contact angle hysteresis (CAH) of acrylic glass is experimentally and theoretically studied through the compression-relaxation process of droplets by using a superhydrophobic surface with negligible CAH effect. In contrast to the existing technique in which the volume of the droplet changes during the measurement of CAH, this procedure is carried out at a constant volume of the droplet. By observing the base diameter (BD) and the contact angle (CA) of the droplet during the compression-relaxation process, the wetting behavior of the droplet can be divided into two regimes, the contact line withdrawal and the contact line pinning regimes, depending on the gap thickness (H) at the end of the compression process. During the compression process, both regimes possess similar droplet behavior; the contact line will move outward and the BD will expand while the CA remains at the advancing angle. During the relaxation process, the two regimes are significantly different. In the contact line withdrawal regime, the contact line will withdraw with the CA remaining at the receding angle. In the contact line pinning regime, however, the contact line will be pinned at the final position and the CA will decline to a certain value higher than the receding angle. Furthermore, the advancing pinning behavior can also be realized through a successive compression-relaxation process. On the basis of the liquid-induced defects model, Surface Evolver simulations are performed to reproduce the behavior of the droplet during the compression-relaxation process; both contact line withdrawal and pinning regimes can also be identified. The results of the experiment and simulation agree with each other very well.  相似文献

In this paper, the icephobic properties of superhydrophobic surfaces are investigated under dynamic flow conditions using a closed-loop low-temperature wind tunnel. Superhydrophobic surfaces were prepared by coating aluminum and steel substrate plates with nano-structured hydrophobic particles. The superhydrophobic plates, along with uncoated controls, were exposed to a wind tunnel air flow of 12 m/s and ?7 °C with deviations of ±1 m/s and ±2.5 °C, respectively, containing micrometer-sized (~50 μm in diameter) water droplets. The ice formation and accretion were observed by CCD cameras. Results show that the superhydrophobic coatings significantly delay ice formation and accretion even under the dynamic flow condition of highly energetic impingement of accelerated supercooled water droplets. It is found that there is a time scale for this phenomenon (delay in ice formation) which has a clear correlation with contact angle hysteresis and the length scale of the surface roughness of the superhydrophobic surface samples, being the highest for the plate with the lowest contact angle hysteresis and finest surface roughness. The results suggest that the key for designing icephobic surfaces under the hydrodynamic pressure of impinging droplets is to retain a non-wetting superhydrophobic state with low contact angle hysteresis, rather than to only have a high apparent contact angle (conventionally referred to as a “static” contact angle).  相似文献

We have recently shown that static contact angles measured by conventional goniometer techniques could be meaningless in the context of the Young equation. There is an abundance of contact angles in the literature that are of unknown status. Here, we explored whether one should completely neglect the literature contact angle data. Existing static contact angles for 34 different types of solid surfaces from Zisman and co-workers were evaluated in terms of their solid surface tensions using experimental contact angle patterns. A fortran computer program was implemented to automate these procedures. It was found that literature contact angles do not have to be discarded completely; they can be used to determine solid surface tensions, with caution. The surface tensions for the 34 solid surfaces from Zisman et al. are also reported.  相似文献

We investigate contact angle hysteresis on chemically patterned and superhydrophobic surfaces, as the drop volume is quasistatically increased and decreased. We consider both two (cylindrical drops) and three (spherical drops) dimensions using analytical and numerical approaches to minimize the free energy of the drop. In two dimensions, we find, in agreement with other authors, a slip, jump, stick motion of the contact line. In three dimensions, this behavior persists, but the position and magnitude of the contact line jumps are sensitive to the details of the surface patterning. In two dimensions, we identify analytically the advancing and receding contact angles on the different surfaces, and we use numerical insights to argue that these provide bounds for the three-dimensional cases. We present explicit simulations to show that a simple average over the disorder is not sufficient to predict the details of the contact angle hysteresis and to support an explanation for the low contact angle hysteresis of suspended drops on superhydrophobic surfaces.  相似文献

Adhesive and marine biofouling release properties of coatings containing surface-oriented perfluoroalkyl groups were investigated. These coatings were prepared by cross-linking a copolymer of 1H,1H,2H,2H-heptadecafluorodecyl acrylate and acrylic acid with a copolymer of poly(2-isopropenyl-2-oxazoline) and methyl methacrylate at different molar ratios. The relationships between contact angle, contact angle hysteresis, adhesion, and marine biofouling were studied. Adhesion was determined by peel tests using pressure-sensitive adhesives. The chemical nature of the surfaces was studied by using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Resistance to marine biofouling of an optimized coating was studied by immersion in seawater and compared to previous, less optimized coatings. The adhesive release properties of the coatings did not correlate well with the surface energies of the coatings estimated from the static and advancing contact angles nor with the amount of fluorine present on the surface. The adhesive properties of the surfaces, however, show a correlation with water receding contact angles and contact angle hysteresis (or wetting hysteresis) resulting from surface penetration and surface reconstruction. Coatings having the best release properties had both the highest cross-link density and the lowest contact angle hysteresis. An optimized coating exhibited unprecedented resistance to marine biofouling. Water contact angle hysteresis appears to correlate with marine biofouling resistance.  相似文献

Wetting on a corrugated surface that is formed via wrinkling of a hard skin layer formed by UV oxidation (UVO) of a poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) slab is studied using advancing and receding water contact angle measurements. The amplitude of the wrinkled pattern can be tuned through the pre-strain of the PDMS prior to surface oxidation. These valleys and peaks in the surface topography lead to anisotropic wetting by water droplets. As the droplet advances, the fluid is free to move along the direction parallel to the wrinkles, but the droplet moving orthogonal to the wrinkles encounters energy barriers due to the topography and slip-stick behavior is observed. As the wrinkle amplitude increases, anisotropy in the sessile droplet increases between parallel and perpendicular directions. For the drops receding perpendicular to the wrinkles formed at high strains, the contact angle tends to decrease steadily towards zero as the drop volume decreases, which can result in apparent hysteresis in the contact angle of over 100°. The wrinkled surfaces can exhibit high sessile and advancing contact angles (>115°), but the receding angle in these cases is generally vanishing as the drop is removed. This effect results in micrometer sized drops remaining in the grooves for these highly wrinkled surfaces, while the flat analogous UVO-treated PDMS shows complete removal of all macroscopic water drops under similar conditions. These wetting characteristics should be considered if these wrinkled surfaces are to be utilized in or as microfluidic devices.  相似文献

Contact angle hysteresis of a sessile drop on a substrate consists of continuous invasion of liquid phase with the advancing angle (θ(a)) and contact line pinning of liquid phase retreat until the receding angle (θ(r)) is reached. Receding pinning is generally attributed to localized defects that are more wettable than the rest of the surface. However, the defect model cannot explain advancing pinning of liquid phase invasion driven by a deflating bubble and continuous retreat of liquid phase driven by the inflating bubble. A simple thermodynamic model based on adhesion hysteresis is proposed to explain anomalous contact angle hysteresis of a captive bubble quantitatively. The adhesion model involves two solid–liquid interfacial tensions (γ(sl) > γ(sl)′). Young’s equation with γ(sl) gives the advancing angle θ(a) while that with γ(sl)′ due to surface rearrangement yields the receding angle θ(r). Our analytical analysis indicates that contact line pinning represents frustration in surface free energy, and the equilibrium shape corresponds to a nondifferential minimum instead of a local minimum. On the basis of our thermodynamic model, Surface Evolver simulations are performed to reproduce both advancing and receding behavior associated with a captive bubble on the acrylic glass.  相似文献

A theory of contact angle hysteresis on smooth, homogeneous solid substrates is developed in terms of shape of disjoining/conjoining pressure isotherm and quasi-equilibrium phenomena. It is shown that all contact angles, θ, in the range θ r?<?θ?<?θ a, which are different from the unique equilibrium contact angle θ?≠?θ e, correspond to the state of slow “microscopic” advancing or receding motion of the liquid if θ e ?<?θ?<?θ a or θ r?<?θ?<?θ e, respectively. This “microscopic” motion almost abruptly becomes fast “macroscopic” advancing or receding motion after the contact angle reaches the critical values θ?=?θ a or θ r?=?θ, correspondingly. The values of the static receding, θ r, and static advancing, θ a, contact angles in cylindrical capillaries were calculated earlier, based on the shape of disjoining pressure isotherm. It is shown that an advancing contact angle of a droplet on a solid substrate depends on the drop volume and is not a unique characteristic of the liquid–solid system. The suggested mechanism of contact angle hysteresis has direct experimental confirmation.  相似文献

In this paper, we demonstrate how condensed moisture droplets wet classical superhydrophobic lotus leaf surfaces and analyze the mechanism that causes the increase of contact angle hysteresis. Superhydrophobic lotus leaves in nature show amazing self-cleaning property with high water contact angle (>150°) and low contact angle hysteresis (usually <10°), causing droplets to roll off at low inclination angles, in accordance with classical Cassie–Baxter wetting state. However, when superhydrophobic lotus leaves are wetted with condensation, the condensed water droplets are sticky and exhibit higher contact angle hysteresis (40–50°). Compared with a fully wetted sessile droplet (classical Wenzel state) on the lotus leaves, the condensed water droplet still has relatively large contact angle (>145°), suggesting that the wetting state deviates from a fully wetted Wenzel state. When the condensed water droplets are subjected to evaporation at room conditions, a thin water film is observed bridging over the micropillar structures of the lotus leaves. This causes the dew to stick to the surface. This result suggests that the condensed moisture does not uniformly wet the superhydrophobic lotus leaf surfaces. Instead, there occurs a mixed wetting state, between classical Cassie–Baxter and Wenzel states that causes a distinct increase of contact angle hysteresis. It is also observed that the mixed Cassie–Baxter/Wenzel state can be restored to the original Cassie–Baxter state by applying ultrasonic vibration which supplies energy to overcome the energy barrier for the wetting transition. In contrast, when the surface is fully wetted (classical Wenzel state), such restoration is not observed with ultrasonic vibration. The results reveal that although the superhydrophobic lotus leaves are susceptible to being wetted by condensing moisture, the configured wetting state is intermediate between the classical Cassie–Baxter and Wenzel states.  相似文献

In this work, droplet coalescence and the subsequent mixing in superhydrophobic surfaces is studied over a range of impact velocities and impact angles. Sanded Teflon surfaces are used as a novel two-dimensional microfluidics platform. These superhydrophobic surfaces exhibit a constant advancing contact angle of θ(A)=150° over a broad range of contact angle hysteresis. As a result, the effect of contact angle hysteresis on droplet coalescence and mixing can be studied. Based on the observed characteristics of coalescence, three different regimes of coalescence are identified as a function of both Weber number and impact angle. These regimes include oscillation dominated, rotation dominated, and mixed dynamics. It is shown that within Weber number ranges achievable in this experiment, hysteresis greatly reduces the deformation of the droplet coalescence process and the subsequent mixing. In head-on collisions, higher hysteresis is found to decrease the frequency at which the resulting dr oscillates. In the case of glancing collisions, where the resulting droplet is found to rotate, higher hysteresis increases the rate of rotation although the overall angular momentum is found to be independent of contact angle hysteresis.  相似文献

Contact angle hysteresis of a macroscopic droplet on a heterogeneous but flat substrate is studied using the interface displacement model. First, the apparent contact angle of a droplet on a heterogeneous surface under the condition of constant volume is considered. By assuming a cylindrical liquid-vapor surface (meniscus) and minimizing the total free energy, we derive an equation for the apparent contact angle, which is similar but different from the well-known Cassie's law. Next, using this modified Cassie's law as a guide to predict the behavior of a droplet on a heterogeneous striped surface, we examine several scenarios of contact angle hysteresis using a periodically striped surface model. By changing the volume of the droplet, we predict a sudden jump of the droplet edge, and a continuous change of the apparent contact angle at the edge of two stripes. Our results suggest that as drop volume is increased (advancing contact lines), the predominant drop configuration observed is the one whose contact angle is large; whereas, decreasing drop volume from a large value (receding contact lines) yields drop configuration that predominantly exhibit the smaller contact angle.  相似文献
