Wetting of Silicone Oil Drops and Air Bubbles in Ethylene Glycol/Water Mixtures
Contact angles of silicone oil droplets and air bubbles settled on a solid substrate and confined in binary ethylene glycol/water mixtures were studied as a function of ethylene glycol concentration. Despite similar reductions in interfacial tensions for both systems, distinct wetting behaviors were observed. While the air bubble contact angle increased with ethylene glycol concentration, the silicone oil droplet exhibited a more complex response, characterized by a stable contact angle at low ethylene glycol concentrations followed by an increase at higher concentrations. This suggests that droplet morphology can remain relatively stable even as interfacial tensions change. A phenomenological description based on the imbalanced forces highlights the crucial role of the contact angle in pure water environment, in predicting the wetting behavior that may follow the reduction of interfacial tension by further surfactant or cosolvent adsorption.
期刊介绍:
Langmuir is an interdisciplinary journal publishing articles in the following subject categories:
Colloids: surfactants and self-assembly, dispersions, emulsions, foams
Interfaces: adsorption, reactions, films, forces
Biological Interfaces: biocolloids, biomolecular and biomimetic materials
Materials: nano- and mesostructured materials, polymers, gels, liquid crystals
Electrochemistry: interfacial charge transfer, charge transport, electrocatalysis, electrokinetic phenomena, bioelectrochemistry
Devices and Applications: sensors, fluidics, patterning, catalysis, photonic crystals
However, when high-impact, original work is submitted that does not fit within the above categories, decisions to accept or decline such papers will be based on one criteria: What Would Irving Do?
Langmuir ranks #2 in citations out of 136 journals in the category of Physical Chemistry with 113,157 total citations. The journal received an Impact Factor of 4.384*.
This journal is also indexed in the categories of Materials Science (ranked #1) and Multidisciplinary Chemistry (ranked #5).
