Abstract:
The fine structure of the triple line for water droplets deposited on porous polymer substrates was investigated. Substrates were obtained with the breath-figures self-assembly. Water droplets demonstrated the pronounced Cassie-Baxter wetting regime. The triple line was imaged with environmental scanning electron microscopy. The roughness of a triple line was characterized with its averaged root-mean-square (rms) width w(L), and its scaling experimental dependence upon the length L of the triple line w(L) is proportional to L(ζ) was analyzed. The values of exponents in the range of 0.60-063 were established. The deduced values of ζ evidence the local nature of the triple-line elasticity and support the idea that the elastic potential of the triple line includes only even powers of the displacement.
