Abstract
Ionic liquids (ILs) have garnered considerable attention for their diverse applications, notably in controlling wettability on specific solid substrates, which holds ramifications for various processes reliant on interfacial behaviour encompassing adhesion and wetting. This review encompasses key advancements in IL wetting behavior and its implications. Factors such as drop size, temperature, alkyl chain structure, anion type, water concentration, and external electric fields influence the contact angle of ILs and their aqueous solutions. Despite challenges arising from IL property susceptibility to water content and wettability measurement sensitivity to solid surface, this review navigates the extent of IL wetting research, addressing line tension, surface tension measurement, and hydrogen bonding. The study aspires to furnish profound insights into IL wetting dynamics, informing IL-based fluidic technology design and elucidating intricate static and dynamic wetting attributes in analogous complex fluids.
