Article Synopsis
- Surface tension varies with temperature, leading to thermocapillary flow (Marangoni effect), which causes deformation in thin liquid films between hot and cold surfaces.
- This effect, known as thermocapillary patterning, is utilized for creating micro- and nanostructures in polymer films, often mimicking the underlying template.
- The study developed a two-phase flow numerical model using phase field methods to analyze thermocapillary patterning dynamics and explore how variables like temperature and geometry affect the process.
