Traditionally Nonwetting Surface Made to Wet Mercury
Research
We present a surface-engineering approach that turns all liquids highly wetting, including ultra-high surface tension fluids such as mercury.
Coexistence of Contact Line Pinning and Depinning
Archive
Textured surfaces are instrumental in water repellency or fluid wicking applications, where the pinning and depinning of the liquid–gas interface plays an important role. We demonstrate that a contact line can exhibit nonuniform behavior even without varying the local energy barrier.
