Contact line friction in liquid-liquid displacement on hydrophobic surfaces

The dynamics of a receding water front displaced by (a) an immiscible droplet of dodecane and (b) an air bubble on smooth thiol and silane coated substrates has been investigated. For velocities below 0.02 m/s, the three phase contact line motion is captured by the molecular kinetic theory. The corr...
