In spite of the fact that wetting has been exposed to intensive research for more than 200 years, there still is a broad field open for theoretical and experimental research, including recently revealed superhydrophobic, superoleophobic and superhydrophilic surfaces, so-called liquid marbles, wetting transitions, etc. This book integrates all these aspects within a general framework of wetting of real surfaces, where physical and chemical heterogeneity is essential. Wetting of rough/heterogeneous surfaces is discussed through the use of the variational approach developed recently by the author. It allows natural and elegant grounding of main equations describing wetting of solid surfaces, i.e. Young, Wenzel and Cassie-Baxter equations. The problems of superhydrophobicity, wetting transitions and contact angle hysteresis are discussed in much detail, in view of novel models and new experimental data.De Gruyter Studies in Mathematical PhysicsSurface tensionWettingSolid-liquid interfacesHysteresisCassie Wetting.Contact Angle Hysteresis.Electrowetting.Non Stick Droplets.Superhydrophobicity.Surface Tension.Surface Wetting.Wenzel Wetting.Wetting Dynamics.Wetting Transitions.Surface tension.Wetting.Solid-liquid interfaces.Hysteresis.530.4/27Bormashenko Edward A1473620MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910789087703321Wetting of real surfaces3686861UNINA
