Abstract:Existing wetting theories have difficulty accurately describing advancing/receding processes on micro-structured surfaces. A strategy is proposed to solve this problem by recognizing it as a liquid–vapor interface geometrical question. The wetting chip method is proposed to realize the microscopic observation of liquid–vapor interface variations. A wetting model based on the liquid–vapor interface shape (LVIS model) is established to describe the analytical relationships between the apparent contact angles, li… Show more
