Spreading of Polydimethylsiloxane Drops on Solid Horizontal Surfaces

Influence of Chemical Interactions on the Macroscopic Spreading of a Maleic Anhydride Copolymer Melt

“…Systematic deviations of the expected spreading behavior of silicon oils were detected and found to be dependent on the chemical compositions of glass surfaces. [11] In the literature, both accelerations [12,13] and delaying [14] of the macroscopic spreading process were reported. Recently, Shanahan and Carre [15] found an anomalous spreading behavior of tricresyl phosphate (TCP) on glass and polymer surfaces in comparison with silicon oil and poly(dimethylsiloxane).…”

Wetting Line Dynamics in the Process of Drop Spreading

“…[1], [2], and [6] in the same way as [7], [7a], and [9] are. The only difference is that, instead of [8], other relations are met. In these cases the constant c is not zero.…”

“…The influence of molecular forces on a wetting film flow was considered by Teletzke et al in (5,6). Spontaneous drop spreading was dealt with in many experiments (7)(8)(9)(10)(11). Lopez et al (7) seem to be the first to have experimentally investigated the kinetics of spreading of a tiny droplet.…”

Dissipation mechanisms in ionic liquids

“…(10)), one is left with a first-order differential equation in R. This can be analytically solved and yields the power laws R $ t 1/10 and h $ t À3/10 in the approximation that h e = 0. This model has repeatedly been found to work for small drops of completely wetting liquids [20,22,[32][33][34][35], but tends to give unrealistically small values of the microscopic length scale for partial wetting situations [36][37][38]. The molecular kinetic model is fundamentally different in that the mode of dissipation occurs at the contact line.…”
