The workshop explores adaptive and active wetting, connecting physico-chemical systems with emerging biophysical and biomimetic ones. It covers dynamic wetting on flexible, chemically adaptive, and switchable substrates as well as related active processes, to propose new challenges in engineering, mathematics, (bio)chemistry and soft matter physics.

Topics include
– Adaptive wetting
– Active wetting
– Wetting of biological interfaces
– Elastic substrates and wetting
– Chemically adaptive substrates
– Switchable substrates and wetting dynamics
– Substrate dynamics and hydrodynamics
– Dynamic wetting of complex liquids
– Interfacial energy dissipation
– Biophysical and biomimetic systems
– Wetting of biomolecular condensates
