Abstract

Surface wettability is known to be governed not only by chemical structure but also by the surface geometrical structure. A multiscale approach on rough surface wettability was presented to study the combined effects of surface interactions. Different chemical structures and configurations were first input into the molecular model to get equilibrated structures. Contact angle was then estimated and input into continuum model with a roughness factor included.
