Solar Steam Nanobubbles

ACS Nano, 2013
Silica-gold core-shell nanoparticles that are immersed in water act as efficient nanoscale generators of steam when illuminated with sunlight. In their paper in this issue of ACS Nano, Halas, Nordlander, and co-workers demonstrate this intriguing phenomenon that results from the nucleation of steam at the surface of individual nanoparticles that are ...

Nanobubble Skin Supersolidity

Langmuir, 2016
Water nanobubbles manifest fascinatingly higher mechanical strength, higher thermal stability, and longer lifetime than macroscopic bubbles; thus, they provide an important impact in applications in the biomedical and chemical industries. However, a detailed understanding of the mechanism behind these mysteries of nanobubbles remains a challenge ...

Dimensions and the Profile of Surface Nanobubbles: Tip–Nanobubble Interactions and Nanobubble Deformation in Atomic Force Microscopy

Langmuir, 2014
The interactions between argon surface nanobubbles and AFM tips on HOPG (highly oriented pyrolitic graphite) in water and the concomitant nanobubble deformation were analyzed as a function of position on the nanobubbles in a combined tapping mode and force-volume mode AFM study with hydrophilic and hydrophobic AFM tips.

Nanobubbles and the hydrophobic attraction

Advances in Colloid and Interface Science, 2003
The evidence for nanobubbles as the origin of the long-ranged attractions measured between hydrophobic surfaces immersed in water is reviewed by focusing upon several unique features of the force curves. Also covered is the morphology of nanobubbles as revealed by direct imaging with tapping mode atomic force microscopy.

Nanobubbles and the Nanobubble Bridging Capillary Force [PDF]

open access: possible, 2009
Interactions between hydrophobic surfaces at short separation distances (at the nanometer scale) are very important in a number of industrial applications. For example, in the froth flotation mineral separation process it is the interaction between the hydrophobic particle and the bubble which is paramount in separating the valuable minerals from the ...

The stability of nanobubbles

The European Physical Journal Special Topics, 2013
The experimental evidence for the existence of nanobubbles is summarized. The paradox represented by their stability and the apparent contradiction with the Laplace-Young equation is discussed in detail. A review of surface thermodynamics is given, which shows that nanobubbles are only stable in water super-saturated with air, and also that the surface

Micro- and Nanobubbles

2014
Microbubbles and nanobubbles have several characteristics that are comparable with millimeter- and centimeter-sized bubbles. These characteristics are their small size, which results in large surface area and high bioactivity, low rising velocity, decreased friction drag, high internal pressure, large gas dissolution capacity, negatively charged ...
