Characterization of Nanobubbles on Hydrophobic Surfaces in Water

Langmuir, 2007
The aim of this paper is to quantitatively characterize the appearance, stability, density, and shape of surface nanobubbles on hydrophobic surfaces under varying conditions such as temperature and temperature variation, gas type and concentration, surfactants, and surface treatment.

Manipulating Trapped Nanobubbles Moving and Coalescing with Surface Nanobubbles

Langmuir, 2022
Trapped nanobubbles are observed nucleating at nanopits on a pitted substrate, while surface nanobubbles are usually formed on the smooth solid surface in water. In this work, trapped nanobubbles and surface nanobubbles were captured by a tapping-mode atomic force microscope (AFM) on a nanopitted substrate based on the temperature difference method.

On the Shape of Surface Nanobubbles

Langmuir, 2009
Previous AFM experiments on surface nanobubbles have suggested an anomalously large contact angle theta of the bubbles (typically approximately 160 degrees measured through the water) and a possible size dependence theta(R). Here we determine theta(R) for nanobubbles on smooth, highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) with a variety of different ...

Understanding the stability of surface nanobubbles

Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter, 2013
Surface nanobubbles emerging at solid-liquid interfaces show extreme stability. In this paper, the stability of surface nanobubbles in degassed water is discussed and investigated by AFM. The result demonstrates that surface nanobubbles are kinetically stable and the liquid/gas interface is gas impermeable.

Nucleation and Growth of a Nanobubble on Rough Surfaces

Langmuir, 2020
We study the nucleation and growth of a nanobubble on rough surfaces using molecular dynamics simulations. A nanobubble nucleates and grows by virtue of a heterogeneous surface reaction which results in the production of gas molecules near the surface. We study the role of surface roughness in the nucleation and growth behavior of a nanobubble.

Decrease in the Surface Tension of Nanobubble Dispersion in Water: Results of Surface Excess of Bulk Nanobubbles at Interfaces

Langmuir, 2023
The effect of nanobubbles (NBs) on the surface tension of liquid was investigated by three methods of different measuring principles, pendant drop (PD), Wilhelmy, and du Noüy methods, over a wide range of number concentration of bulk NBs (BNBs). In all of the three methods, the surface tension decreased in proportion to the number concentration of BNBs

Surface Nanobubbles Nucleate Liquid Boiling

Langmuir, 2018
Surface nanobubbles have been presumed to lead to the experimental observation that liquid boiling often occurs at a much lower supersaturation than expected, yet no qualitative theory exists to explain how they participate in the process. Here, we report through a simple theoretical analysis on how the metastable nanobubbles nucleate the liquid-to ...
