Spontaneous wettability patterning via creasing instability [PDF]
, 2015 Surfaces with patterned wettability contrast are important in industrial applications such as heat transfer, water collection, and particle separation. Traditional methods of fabricating such surfaces rely on microfabrication technologies, which are only

Thermodynamic and Interfacial Characterization of Petroleum Industry Surfactants: A Study on Critical Micelle Concentration and Interfacial Tension Behavior under Mild Conditions. [PDF]
ChemistryOpenThe interfacial and thermodynamic properties of five petroleum industry surfactants are evaluated under mild conditions. Interfacial tension is measured using spinning drop tensiometry, and critical micelle concentrations are determined conductometrically.

Commencement measurements giving fundamental surface tension determinations in tensiometry
Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2011 This study provides experimental testing of a ray-tracing model of the tensiotrace that explores the measurement potential of a well-defined optical position in the tensiotrace signal known as the 'commencement'. This point is defined as the first measureable optical coupling in the fiber drophead between source and collector fibers for light injected ...

A Multistate Adsorption Model for the Adsorption of C14EO4 and C14EO8 at the Solution/Air Interface
Colloids and Interfaces, 2021 The dynamic and equilibrium properties of adsorption layers of poly (oxyethylene) alkyl ether (CnEOm) can be well described by the reorientation model. In its classical version, it assumes two adsorption states; however, there are obviously surfactants ...
