{"product_id":"physics-of-wetting-9783110444803","title":"Physics of Wetting","description":"\u003cp\u003eMotivated by a plethora of phenomena from nature, this textbook introduces into the physics of wetting of surfaces. After a brief discussion of the foundations of surface tension, its implementation for floating objects, capillary waves, bouncing droplets, walking of water striders, etc. is discussed. Furthermore, Marangoni flows, surface tension inspired instabilities, condensation and evaporation of droplets, liquid marbles, superhydrophobicity and superoleophobicity (lotus effect) are introduced. All relevant concepts are illustrated by the numerous qualitative and quantitative exercises. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContents\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat is surface tension?\u003cbr\u003eWetting of surfaces: the contact angle\u003cbr\u003eSurface tension-assisted floating of heavy and light objects and walking of water striders\u003cbr\u003eCapillary interactions between particles.
