Abstract:Stability of thin lubricating fluid coated slippery surfaces depends on the surface energy of the underlying solid surface. High energy solid surfaces, coated with thin lubricating oil, lead to the dewetting of the oil films upon depositing aqueous drops on it. The total surface energy, which is due to the long range and short range interactions, also predict the instability of thin lubricating films under the given condition. In this article, we present experimental study of dewetting of thin lubricating oil … Show more
