Fluid coating on a fiber

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the thickness of the liquid layer entrained by a solid drawn out of a bath, focusing on the case where the solid is a fiber or a wire.

Drops on a conical wire

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the behavior of a drop deposited on a conical fiber and showed that such a drop spontaneously moves towards the region of lower curvature, and the driving force was measured and shown to be a gradient of Laplace pressure.

Wetting and Wicking

TL;DR: The fundamentals of wetting and wicking are reviewed in this article, where wetting is defined as the displacement of a fiber-air interface with a fiber liquid interface, while wicking is the spontaneous flow of a liquid in a porous subspace.

New method of determining contact angle between monofilament and liquid

TL;DR: In this paper, a method to obtain contact angle by observing the shape of a liquid drop attached to a monofilament was described. But it was not shown that this method has practical utility for measurement of the contact angle between liquid and polyurethane.

Effect of surface dynamics on the process of droplet formation from supported and free liquid cylinders

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the effect of the presence of surfactant will be more important in the final than in the initial stages of droplet formation, which is relevant to emulsification.
