Our\u0000study explores the effects of solid defects using a vertical cylindrical fiber\u0000deposited on a silicone oil film coating a horizontal solid substrate. We use a\u0000hyperspectral camera to measure the film thickness by interferometry in the\u0000vicinity of the defect. As predicted and observed in many studies in various\u0000geometries, a circular groove appears around the fiber because of the capillary\u0000suction induced by the meniscus that grows at the bottom of the fiber. We\u0000measure the evolution of the thickness of the film at the groove over time. The\u0000thickness decreases before increasing again leading to the healing of the\u0000perturbation at long time. We propose that healing is due to the arrest of the\u0000suction when the meniscus reaches its equilibrium shape. By combining geometric\u0000analysis with the thin film equation, we have developed scaling laws that\u0000predict both the minimum thickness of the groove, that we call the time-minimum\u0000thickness, and the time required to reach this minimum. If the time-minimum\u0000thickness reaches the thickness at which intermolecular forces begin to play a\u0000role prior to healing, the thickness of the groove will stop decreasing and\u0000saturate due to the competition between drainage and repulsive intermolecular\u0000forces. Based on the previous scaling law, we developed a scaling law\u0000accounting for the critical initial thickness of the film below which the\u0000intermolecular repulsion will start to have an effect, which is in good\u0000agreement with our experiments. These results thus offer valuable insights into\u0000predicting and preventing defects in coating processes, thereby improving the\u0000quality and reliability of coated products in various industries.","PeriodicalId":501146,"journal":{"name":"arXiv - PHYS - Soft Condensed Matter","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142227356","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For example, while a low $kappa$ is desirable for\u0000the thermoelectric applications, a large $kappa$ is needed when a material is\u0000used under the high temperature conditions. These materials range from common\u0000crystals to commodity amorphous polymers.

In particular,\u0000the solubility of CO$_{2}$ in water when in contact with the CO$_{2}$ liquid\u0000phase, and the solubility of CO$_{2}$ in water when in contact with the hydrate\u0000have been determined. The solubility of CO$_{2}$ in a liquid-liquid system\u0000decreases as temperature increases. The solubility of CO$_{2}$ in a\u0000hydrate-liquid system increases with temperature. The two curves intersect at a\u0000certain temperature that determines the dissociation temperature of the hydrate\u0000at 400 bar ($T_{3}$).
