We will discuss forces of sliding drops at a sharp wetting transitions featuring no topographic variation. Such surfaces with different wetting properties were made from chemical vapor deposition of trichlorootcylsilane (OTS) and tri-chloro(perfluoro) octylsilane (PFOCTS). We observed that drops sliding from an area of low to high contact angle hysteresis exhibit two force maxima. The drop motion is characterized by pinning of the advancing and receding contact lines, respectively. Accordingly, the motion of the drop follows two stick-slip processes. Drops sliding from an area of high to low contact angle hysteresis exhibit a single local force maximum, a single stick process, but two slip processes.
Sliding forces of drops were measured by a novel tool named scanning Drop Adhesion Force Instrument (sDAFI) which we use to image, locate and characterize wetting properties of cm-large areas with a resolution down to the micrometer-scale.
