Complex wetting phenomena (COWET)

Date du début: 1 janv. 2014, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2017,

Static and dynamic wetting of solid surfaces by liquids is a focus of numerous theoretical, computational and experimental investigations. Most of the research and training activities are focused on the wetting of simple solids by one-component liquids. However, a wide variety of industrial processes mostly include wetting/spreading of complex multiphase liquids over heterogeneous, structured or ( ...

"In this project we will experimentally study the behaviour of light and matter on the timescales, at which their fundamental properties are being formed. We define such critical timescales as:For light - the timescale of a single optical cycle. This naturally requires the sub-cycle time resolution in the experiments.For matter – the time during which the quantum-mechanical dimensionality (e.g. 0D ...

90% of bacteria are found attached to solid surfaces forming structures (bio-films), that are inaccessible to drugs and antibiotics. These bio-films represent a major problem in European society in both industry and health care. Currently, however, we understand little about how these bio-films form and, more importantly, how they can be prevented. This lack of understanding means that patients of ...
