Thin films in partial wetting: stability, dewetting and coarsening by Alizadeh Pahlavan, Amir, Cueto-Felgueroso Landeira, Luis, Hosoi, Anette E, McKinley, Gareth H, Juanes, Ruben

“…Here, using a thermodynamically consistent framework, we derive a new model for thin films in partial wetting with a free energy that resembles the Cahn–Hilliard form with a height-dependent surface tension that leads to a generalized disjoining pressure, and revisit the dewetting problem. …”

Stable Wettability Control of Nanoporous Microstructures by iCVD Coating of Carbon Nanotubes by Annavarapu, Rama Kishore, Sojoudi, Hossein, Kim, Sanha, Zhao, Hangbo, Mariappan, Dhanushkodi Durai, Hart, Anastasios John, McKinley, Gareth H, Gleason, Karen K

“…Here, it is shown that an ultrathin, conformal, and low-surface-energy layer of poly perfluorodecyl acrylate, poly(1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorodecyl acrylate) (pPFDA), makes the VA-CNTs robust against surface-tension-driven aggregation and densification. …”

The rheology of aqueous solutions of ethyl hydroxy-ethyl cellulose (EHEC) and its hydrophobically modified analogue (hmEHEC): extensional flow response in capillary break-up, jetti... by Sharma, Vivek, Haward, Simon J., Keshavarz, Bavand, Soderlund, Asa, Threlfall-Holmes, Phil, Serdy, James George, McKinley, Gareth H

“…In viscous Newtonian fluids, inertial and viscous stresses oppose the surface tension-driven instability. In aqueous solutions of polymers such as Ethyl Hydroxy-Ethyl Cellulose (EHEC), chain elongation provides additional elastic stresses that can delay the capillary-driven pinch-off, influencing the sprayability or jettability of the complex fluid. …”

Studying the effects of elongational properties on atomization of weakly viscoelastic solutions using Rayleigh Ohnesorge Jetting Extensional Rheometry (ROJER) by Sharma, Vivek, Houze, Eric C., Koerner, Michael R., Moore, John R., Cotts, Patricia M., Threlfall-Holmes, Philip, Keshavarz, Bavand, McKinley, Gareth H

“…The values of HSV for PEO solutions are close to the solvent viscosity and matched to those of typical ink or paint samples. The surface tensions of the fluids are also tuned to be very similar, however both the SMD and the droplet size distribution change considerably. …”
