The wetting behavior of complex coacervates underpins their use in many emerging applications of surface science, particularly wet adhesives and coatings. Many factors dictate if a coacervate phase will condense on a solid surface, including solution conditions, the nature of the polymer–substrate interaction, and the underlying supernatant–coacervate bulk phase behavior. In this work, we use a simple inhomogeneous mean-field theory to study the wetting behavior of complex coacervates on solid surfaces both off-coexistence (wetting transitions) and on-coexistence (contact angles). Here we focus on the effects of salt concentration, the polycation/polyanion surface affinity, and the applied electrostatic potential on the wettability. We find that the coacervate generally wets the surface via a first order wetting transition with second order transitions possible above a surface critical point. Applying an electrostatic potential to a solid surface always improves the surface wettability when the polycation/polyanion–substrate interaction is symmetric. For asymmetric surface affinity, the wettability has a nonmonotonic dependence with the applied potential. We use simple scaling and thermodynamic arguments to explain our results.
