Sliding/Rolling Phobic Droplets along a Fiber: Measurement of Interfacial Forces

Phobic droplet–fiber systems possess complex geometries, which have made full characterization of such systems difficult. This work has used atomic force microscopy (AFM) to measure droplet–fiber forces for oil droplets on oleophobic fibers over a range of fiber diameters. The work adapted a previou...
