Wetting and Spreading Dynamics, Second Edition
暫譯: 潤濕與擴散動力學（第二版）

本書解釋了在三相接觸線上作用的表面力如何決定液體在與固體或其他不相容液體接觸時的平衡、滯後接觸角以及其他平衡和動力學特徵。它探討了表面力、毛細力以及體液與固體基材之間過渡區域的特性之間的相互作用。新章節涵蓋了非牛頓流體在多孔基材上的擴展、光滑均勻基材上的接觸角滯後、可變形基材上的平衡和滯後接觸角，以及泡沫與多孔基材的相互作用。本書適合新手和經驗豐富的研究人員閱讀。

Victor Starov, PhD, DSc, Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry, Professor. Victor Starov has been a Professor at the Department of Chemical Engineering, Loughborough University, UK, since 1999. He received his PhD from the USSR Academy of Sciences in 1970 on "Capillary hysteresis in porous bodies." He received his DSc degree from St. Petersburg University in 1981 on "Equilibrium and kinetics of thin liquid layers in dispersed systems." Victor Starov is working on the influence of surface forces on kinetics of wetting and spreading over rigid and soft solids and the kinetics of spreading over porous and hydrophobic surfaces. He has published more than 300 scientific papers. Some of his research results are summarized in this book. He currently serves on the editorial board of 10 journals. He has participated in numerous organizing and scientific committees of international conferences and was a chairman of ECIC XVII in 2005.

Manuel G. Velarde, PhD Physics (UCM, Spain, 1968; ULB, Belgium, 1970), Honorary Doctor (Aix-Marseille, Saratov), is an Emeritus Professor at the Instituto Pluridisciplinar, Universidad Complutense Madrid (Spain). He is a member of Academia Europaea and the European Academy of Sciences. He has published numerous papers and book chapters, and six research frontier monographs and has edited several other books dealing with interfacial phenomena, wetting and spreading processes, waves and convective instabilities, and nonlinear dynamics as applied to various fields of science (patterns, waves, solitons, and chaos). He has over two decades of collaboration with V. M. Starov on wetting and spreading processes. At present he is mostly engaged in a theory of soliton-assisted electron transport (mechanical control of electrons at the nanolevel). He is the co inventor (with E. G. Wilson) of a novel field effect transistor, not using silicon, designed to operate with extremely low dissipation and huge mobility (UK Patent application published GB 2533105 A-15/6/2016).

曼努埃爾·G·維拉德，物理學博士（西班牙康普頓斯大學，1968；比利時自由大學，1970），榮譽博士（艾克斯-馬賽，薩拉托夫），是西班牙康普頓斯大學多學科研究所的名譽教授。他是歐洲學院和歐洲科學院的成員。他已發表多篇論文和書籍章節，以及六本研究前沿專著，並編輯了幾本涉及界面現象、濕潤與擴散過程、波動與對流不穩定性以及非線性動力學在各科學領域應用的書籍（模式、波、孤子和混沌）。他與維克多·斯塔羅夫在濕潤與擴散過程方面有超過二十年的合作。目前，他主要從事孤子輔助電子傳輸的理論研究（在納米級別上對電子的機械控制）。他與E. G. Wilson共同發明了一種新型場效應晶體管，該晶體管不使用矽，設計用於在極低耗散和高移動性下運行（英國專利申請編號GB 2533105 A-15/6/2016）。欲了解更多詳情，請參見 http://www.ucm.es/info/fluidos；另見R. G. Rubio等人，無邊界：非線性與複雜動力學的科學畫布，斯普林格，柏林（2013）以及R. Miller, R. G.
