摘要:

软弹性基底上的润湿表现出许多在刚性表面上没有对应现象的特征。对详细弹性毛细相互作用的建模具有挑战性,迄今仅限于单条接触线或单个液滴。在此,我们提出一个约化的长波模型,该模型能够捕捉软润湿的静态与动力学的主要定性特征,并可应用于液滴集合体。该模型具有在底层自由能上的梯度动力学形式,该自由能反映了毛细作用、润湿性和压缩弹性。利用该模型,我们首先重现了当基底柔软度从理想刚性向非常软(即液体)增加时平衡接触角中出现的双重转变。其次,考虑了部分润湿和完全润湿液体的单液滴铺展,表明动态接触角对接触线速度的已知依赖关系被很好地再现。最后,我们超越单液滴图像,考虑双液滴系统以及大液滴集合体的粗化。结果表明,主导粗化模式以非平凡的方式随基底柔软度变化。

英文摘要:

The wetting of soft elastic substrates exhibits many features that have no counterpart on rigid surfaces. Modelling the detailed elastocapillary interactions is challenging, and has so far been limited to single contact lines or single drops. Here we propose a reduced long-wave model that captures the main qualitative features of statics and dynamics of soft wetting, but which can be applied to ensembles of droplets. The model has the form of a gradient dynamics on an underlying free energy that reflects capillarity, wettability and compressional elasticity. With the model we first recover the double transition in the equilibrium contact angles that occurs when increasing substrate softness from ideally rigid towards very soft (i.e., liquid). Second, the spreading of single drops of partially and completely wetting liquids is considered showing that known dependencies of the dynamic contact angle on contact line velocity are well reproduced. Finally, we go beyond the single droplet picture and consider the coarsening for a two-drop system as well as for a large ensemble of drops. It is shown that the dominant coarsening mode changes with substrate softness in a nontrivial way.
