A description of the entire configuration of liquid drops spreading over a previously wetted solid surface is given in the case of negligible evaporation and small Bond and Weber numbers. Two solutions are developed: an outer one which is valid in the bulk of the drop and an inner solution which app
We have carried out an experimental study of liquid drop impact on superhydrophobic substrates covered by a carpet of chemically coated nano-wires. The micro-structure of the surface is similar to some biological ones (Lotus leaf for example). In this situation the contact angle can then be consider
There have been many experiments that have determined the wetting behavior of liquids on low-energy solid surfaces. These experiments show that, in general, the contact angle, theta, measured through the liquid, increases with increasing liquid-vapor surface tension, sigmalv. Surprisingly, in experi
