Characterization and Manipulation of Interfacial Activity for Aqueous Galinstan Dispersions
Advanced Materials Interfaces, 2018 AbstractRoom temperature liquid eutectic metals have the potential to maintain electrical and thermal conductivity during deformation, a combination of properties difficult to obtain. Two such metals, eutectic gallium–indium (EGaIn) and galinstan (eutectic gallium–indium–tin), exhibit similar flow behavior attributed to a thin oxide shell ...

Robust Impact Effect and Super-Lyophobic Reduced Galinstan on Polymers Applied for Energy Harvester. [PDF]
Polymers (Basel), 2022 In this paper, we present a novel reduced Galinstan-based microfluidic energy harvester, which can converse kinetic energy to electricity from an arbitrary vibration source. Firstly, the wetting behaviors of reduced Galinstan are performed, which shows a robust impact effect on polymer substrates.

Activating the Growth of High Surface Area Alumina Using a Liquid Galinstan Alloy [PDF]
ACS Omega, 2018 The growth of high surface area alumina has been investigated with the use of a liquid Galinstan alloy [66.5% (wt %) Ga, 20.5% In and 13.0% Sn] as an activator for aluminum. In this process, the aluminum is slowly dissolved into the gallium-indium-tin alloy, which is then selectively oxidized at ambient temperature and pressure under a humid stream of ...

Galinstan liquid metal breakup and droplet formation in a shock-induced cross-flow
International Journal of Multiphase Flow, 2018 Abstract Liquid metal breakup processes are important for understanding a variety of physical phenomena including metal powder formation, thermal spray coatings, fragmentation in explosive detonations and metalized propellant combustion. Since the breakup behaviors of liquid metals are not well studied, we experimentally investigate the roles of ...
