Figure 6. SD-type LLT in a TPP/toluene (75/25) mixture observed with phase-contrast microscopy near a PET film.

Figure 6

Even though PET is a substrate inducing complete wetting for NG-type LLT, we do not see any indication of either the density wave or the formation of a wetting layer. This indicates that surface-wetting effects are inactive for SD-type LLT. Black dashed lines indicate the surface of the PET film.
