Thermodynamics of Surface Nanobubbles [PDF]
Langmuir, 2016 Abstract In this paper, we examine the thermodynamic stability of surface nanobubbles. The appropriate free energy is defined for the system of nanobubbles on a solid surface submerged in a supersaturated liquid solution at constant pressure and temperature, under conditions where an individual nanobubble is not in diffusive contact ...

Mechanical Stability of Surface Nanobubbles [PDF]
Langmuir, 2018 Abstract Bubble cavitation is important in technologies such as noninvasive cancer treatment and diagnosis, surface cleaning, and waste-water treatment. The cavitation threshold is the critical external tensile pressure that induces unstable growth of the bubble.

Forced oscillation dynamics of surface nanobubbles [PDF]
The Journal of Chemical Physics, 2020 Surface nanobubbles have potential applications in the manipulation of nanoscale and biological materials, waste-water treatment, and surface cleaning. These spherically capped bubbles of gas can exist in stable diffusive equilibrium on chemically patterned or rough hydrophobic surfaces, under supersaturated conditions.

Role of substrate softness in stabilizing surface nanobubbles
Green Energy & Environment, 2020 The contact line pinning and supersaturation theory for the nanobubble stability has attracted extensive concerns from experimental investigators, and some experimenters argue that the contact line pinning is unnecessary.

Surface Nanobubbles Nucleate Microdroplets [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2014 When a hydrophobic solid is in contact with water, surface nanobubbles often form at the interface. They have a lifetime many orders of magnitude longer than expected. Here, we show that they even withstand a temperature increase to temperatures close to the boiling point of bulk water; i.e., they do not nucleate larger bubbles ("superstability").

Stability of Surface Nanobubbles: A Molecular Dynamics Study [PDF]
Langmuir, 2016 The stability and growth or dissolution of a single surface nanobubble on a chemically patterned surface are studied by Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations of binary mixtures consisting of Lennard-Jones (LJ) particles. Our simulations reveal how pinning of the three-phase contact line on the surface can lead to the stability of the surface nanobubble ...
