Rupture Distance of the Liquid Bridge Between Two Flat Substrates with Different Wetting Properties
A theoretical model was developed for rupture distance of the liquid bridge between two flat substrates with different wetting properties. The numerical results of rupture distance were also obtained by simulations of Surface Evolver based on through searching the critical stable liquid
bridge. Both theoretical and simulation results showed that the rupture distance would maximize between two same substrates with a constant volume of the liquid bridge, and decrease with increasing the difference in contact angles of two substrates. A comparison between the theoretical prediction
and simulation results demonstrated the accuracy of the model under the conditions that the smaller contact angle of substrate is less than π/3.
