摘要:

控制润湿性的能力对于需要精确微流体处理的广泛的技术应用是重要的。已知的是,微米或纳米尺度的预先设计的粗糙度增强固体材料的润湿性质,从而产生超疏水或超亲水行为。在这项工作中,我们研究了依赖于条纹图案的固体表面上的条纹的几何形状的表观润湿性,利用系统级分析和介观格子玻尔兹曼(LB)模拟。通过计算稳定和不稳定的状态,我们能够确定的能量障碍,分离不同的亚稳润湿状态,对应于著名的Cassie和Wenzel状态。这种方式的能量成本诱导某些润湿过渡计算和其依赖于表面图案的几何特征进行了探索。

英文摘要:

The ability to control wettability is important for a wide range of technological applications in which precise microfluidic handling is required. It is known that predesigned roughness at a micro- or nano- scale enhances the wetting properties of solid materials giving rise to super-hydrophobic or super-hydrophilic behavior. In this work, we study the dependence of the apparent wettability of a stripe-patterned solid surface on the stripe geometry, utilizing systems level analysis and mesoscopic Lattice-Boltzmann (LB) simulations. Through the computation of both stable and unstable states we are able to determine the energy barriers separating distinct metastable wetting states that correspond to the well-known Cassie and Wenzel states. This way the energy cost for inducing certain wetting transitions is computed and its dependence on geometric features of the surface pattern is explored.
