Topography-Dependent Effective Contact Line in Droplet Depinning

Physical Review Letters

Abstract

The mobility of a fakir state droplet on a structured surface is fundamentally determined by the effective length of a microscopic contact line. However, it is largely unknown how the surface topography determines the effective contact line length. Based on the direct measurement of droplet adhesion force and the visualization of contact line, this work shows that effective contact line length is topography dependent as opposed to prior notion. On pored surfaces, contact line is not distorted, and the effective length approaches the droplet apparent perimeter regardless of pore dimensions. On pillared surfaces, the distortion of contact line is significantly dependent on the packing density of the pillar structures so that the effective length is as small as a pillar diameter on densely packed pillars and as large as a pillar perimeter on sparsely-packed pillars, while changing linearly between the two extremes.

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function.
