Thermodiffusion as a means to manipulate liquid film dynamics on chemically patterned surfaces

Abstract: The model problem examined here is the stability of a thin liquid film consisting of two miscible components, resting on a chemically patterned solid substrate and heated from below. In addition to surface tension gradients, the temperature variations also induce gradients in the concentration of the film by virtue of thermodiffusion/Soret effects. We study the stability and dewetting behaviour due to the coupled interplay between thermal gradients, Soret effects, long-range van der Waals forces, and wettabili… Show more

“…Rigid polymeric foams, usually prepared by the chemical reaction of isocyanates with polyols, are not strong enough to withstand blast loads and therefore mandate reinforcement 13 . Also, the processing of polymer-based foams is an involved process with interfacial phenomena and fluid dynamics being very critical 14,15 . In the field of defence technologies, in view of their excellent mechanical properties syntactic foams have been reported to withstand dynamic loads 16 .…”
