Abstract
Abstract Phenomena involving the recedence of relatively thick films were investigated in the paraffin—water and Pyrex—dodecylammoniumacetate—water systems. Non-equilibrium adsorption was found to enhance the dewetting or recedence velocity of aqueous films from the surface of Pyrex glass. An explanation, based on the enhanced zipper-like adsorption at the solid—vapor interface as the liquid—vapor interface is destroyed, is presented to explain the existence of a maximum recedence velocity. These effects are absent in the paraffin—water system. This work reflects recedence behavior in practical non-quiescent systems.
