Molecular Dynamics Simulation of the Superspreading of Surfactant-Laden Droplets. A Review

Molecular Dynamics Simulation of the Superspreading of Surfactant-Laden Droplets. A Review

Superspreading is the rapid and complete spreading of surfactant-laden droplets on hydrophobic substrates. This phenomenon has been studied for many decades by experiment, theory, and simulation, but it has been only recently that molecular-level simulation has provided significant insights into the...
