![]() Variables in this study include liquid surface tension, initial droplet base area, and the asymmetry in solid surface curvature. Here, by vertically pulling liquid droplets using a microbalance, we study the droplet characteristics at the maximum adhesion on curved homogeneous surfaces. ![]() Thus, the generalized description of such characteristics has not been established yet. Historically, such investigations were mainly conducted on flat 2-dimenional surfaces and the characteristics on curved surfaces with third dimension remain unknown. The following is the abstract:įor applications involving droplet detachment from solid surfaces, it is vital to study the droplet characteristics (e.g., contact angle and base width) when the droplet is experiencing the maximum force that detaches the droplet (maximum adhesion state). In our new report on adhesion of liquids to solids, entitled “ Droplet Characteristics at the Maximum Adhesion on Curved Surfaces” and published in Langmuir, we analyze the effect of solid surface curvature on liquid droplet adhesion.
