Abstract

Polymer brushes with lubricant shows effective possibility to reduce the contact angle hysteresis, while the microscopic wetting phenomenon and mechanism behind is still poorly understood. We study the microscopic wetting ridge formation and deformation, aiming to interpret the macroscopic contact angle hysteresis reduction and dynamic wetting behavior of water droplets on PLMA brushes with different swollen ratios. Hot hexadecane vapor infusion and color-matching-based thickness extraction methods allow for fast/stable sample preparation and real-time thickness measuring.
