A reduction in lateral adhesion of water droplets on poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) brush surfaces exposed to various vapor conditions was recently reported. It was suggested that the mobility of droplets is due to swelling of the PDMS brushes. When changing the vapor surrounding sliding droplets on bare surfaces, a similar phenomenon is observed, presenting a much simpler explanation of the observed results.
最近有报道称,暴露于各种蒸汽条件下的聚二甲基硅氧烷(PDMS)刷状表面的液滴侧向附着力会降低。据推测,液滴的流动性是由于 PDMS 刷的溶胀所致。当改变裸表面上滑动液滴周围的蒸汽时,会观察到类似的现象,这为观察到的结果提供了一个更简单的解释。
