โœฆ Synopsis

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-kinetic theory describes the contact anglevelocity dependence more adequately than the hydrodynamic theory in the case of forced spreading.

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.

Two broad classes of models have been used to describe the motion of a contact line when the contact angle 0 deviates from the equilibrium value & : a) an Eyring approach, emphasizing the microscopic jump of a single molecule at the tip. b) a hydrodynamic approach, concentrating on the viscous losse
