表面活性剂的平衡接触角和吸附层性质

Equilibrium contact angle and adsorption layer properties with surfactants

摘要:

液滴在光滑表面上的三相接触线可以用Young-Dupré方程来描述。它将界面能与宏观接触角$θ_e$联系起来。在介观尺度上,润湿性由膜高度依赖的润湿能$f(h)$来模拟。如果$γ\cos θ_\mathrm{e} =γ+f(h_\mathrm{a})$,其中$γ$和$h_\mathrm{a}$分别是液-气界面能和平衡液体吸附层的厚度,则宏观和中尺度描述是一致的。在这里,我们推导出一个类似的一致性条件的情况下,由不溶性表面活性剂覆盖的液体。在平衡时,表面活性剂在空间上不均匀分布,这意味着$θ_\mathrm{e}$对表面活性剂浓度的非平凡依赖性。我们推导出宏观和介观的描述的接触线在平衡状态,并表明,它们是一致的,如果一个特定的依赖表面活性剂浓度上的润湿能是强加的,这是说明了一个简单的例子,稀释的表面活性剂,我们表现出良好的理论和随时间变化的数值模拟之间的协议。

英文摘要:

The three-phase contact line of a droplet on a smooth surface can be characterized by the Young-Dupré equation. It relates the interfacial energies with the macroscopic contact angle $θ_e$. On the mesoscale, wettability is modeled by a film-height-dependent wetting energy $f(h)$. Macro- and mesoscale description are consistent if $γ\cos θ_\mathrm{e} =γ+f(h_\mathrm{a})$ where $γ$ and $h_\mathrm{a}$ are the liquid-gas interface energy and the thickness of the equilibrium liquid adsorption layer, respectively. Here, we derive a similar consistency condition for the case of a liquid covered by an insoluble surfactant. At equilibrium, the surfactant is spatially inhomogeneously distributed implying a non-trivial dependence of $θ_\mathrm{e}$ on surfactant concentration. We derive macroscopic and mesoscopic descriptions of a contact line at equilibrium and show that they are only consistent if a particular dependence of the wetting energy on the surfactant concentration is imposed.This is illustrated by a simple example of dilute surfactants, for which we show excellent agreement between theory and time-dependent numerical simulations.
