We consider the dynamics of spreading of a small drop over a smooth solid surface. The analysis is concerned with complete wetting and accounts for capillary, viscous, and van der Waals effects, with two spreading geometries considered: cylindrical and axisymmetric. A complete description of the dro

The spreading of a tiny macroscopic drop of a nonvolatile, completely wetting liquid over a flat solid is considered, assuming no gravitation. A liquid, in creeping, is subjected to capillary forces and van der Waals forces. This nonstationary and nonlinear problem in the dynamics of the wetting fil

The dynamic wetting and dewetting behaviour of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), studied by the Wilhelmy technique. is briefly reviewed. Slow relaxation effects were observed for PET surfaces. Equilibrium is achieved by an evaporative process in the case of advancing contact angles. The molecular-ki

Recent advancements in experimental studies of wetting phenomena have helped to bridge the gap between the progress made in theory and simulation over the past decade, and the experimental evidence or verification of the theoretical predictions. These developments include new measurements of the equ
