[Soft-matter] Soft Matter and Stat Phys seminar on Fri 8 Oct 2021

[Maciej Lisicki]

Dear Soft Matter Colleagues and Friends,

Welcome in the new academic year, in which we resume our seminar series in the form of on-site meetings. For the time being, there will be no live transmission and everyone is welcome to join us in person at Pasteura 5, room 1.40.

On Friday 8 October 2021 at 9:30 AM we are hosting a seminar during which

Panagiotis Theodorakis (Institute of Physics, Polish Academy of Sciences)

will give a talk

Nanodroplets and Nanobubbles on Solid Substrates: Molecular Dynamics Simulation of Interfacial Phenomena

Abstract
Nanodroplets and nanobubbles at the interface with solid substrates can lead to impressive phenomena, which are relevant for a wide range of applications, such as coating and transport in nanofluidic devices. In our meeting, we will discuss on the fast and complete spreading of surfactant-laden aqueous droplets on hydrophobic substrates (superspreading), the durotaxis motion of droplets, and the intriguing stability of surface nanobubbles. Understanding these phenomena goes beyond the capabilities of experiment and continuum simulation, since their mechanisms require access to the molecular-level detail of the studied systems, which molecular dynamics simulation can provide.
