Description

The workshop explores adaptive and active wetting, connecting physico-chemical systems with emerging biophysical and biomimetic ones. It covers dynamic wetting on flexible, chemically adaptive, and switchable substrates, as well as related active processes, to propose new challenges in engineering, mathematics, (bio)chemistry and soft matter physics.

Topics include

Adaptive Wetting
Active Wetting
Wetting of Biological Interfaces
Elastic Substrates and Wetting
Chemically Adaptive Substrates
Switchable Substrates and Wetting Dynamics
Substrate Dynamics and Hydrodynamics
Dynamic Wetting of Complex Liquids
Interfacial Energy Dissipation
Biophysical and Biomimetic Systems
Wetting of Biomolecular Condensates
