Bd. Summ et Nb. Uriev, SPECIFIC FEATURES OF SPREADING OF NON-NEWTONIAN LIQUIDS, Colloid journal of the Russian Academy of Sciences, 58(1), 1996, pp. 88-90
The major specific features of the spontaneous spreading of non-Newton
ian liquids on solid surfaces are considered. It was shown that within
the framework of this problem it is reasonable to classify various ta
sks into three groups depending on the decisive role of the surface an
d bulk properties as well as on the effects occurring near the wetting
line. The influence of the solid-liquid interactions on the structuri
ng and other non-Newtonian effects arising during spreading is also di
scussed.
