Explaining Evaporation-Triggered Wetting Transition Using Local Force Balance Model and Contact Line-Fraction

Understanding wettability and mechanisms of wetting transition are important for design and engineering of superhydrophobic surfaces. There have been numerous studies on the design and fabrication of superhydrophobic and omniphobic surfaces and on the wetting transition mechanisms triggered by liqui...
