Intrinsic Wettability in Pristine Graphene

Advances in Materials, 2021
The wettability of graphene remains controversial owing to its high sensitivity to the surroundings, which is reflected by the wide range of reported water contact angle (WCA).

Wettability and Wettability Tests

2015
Abstract Wettability is a fundamental property that controls fluid distributions within porous media and has a major impact on capillary behaviour, core electrical measurements, relative permeability behaviour and residual saturations. This chapter describes the sample preparation methods, test equipment, test procedures and data reporting ...

Alteration of wettability and wettability heterogeneity

Journal of Petroleum Science and Engineering, 2002
Abstract This paper emphasizes how wettability may be altered for special core analysis purposes and by which processes this occurs. Studies of how the imbibition characteristics change after aging core plugs in crude oil are reported, focusing on imbibition rate and endpoint saturations and on the induction time.

Wettability of Graphene

Nano Letters, 2013
Graphene, an atomically thin two-dimensional material, has received significant attention due to its extraordinary electronic, optical, and mechanical properties. Studies focused on understanding the wettability of graphene for thermo-fluidic and surface-coating applications, however, have been sparse.

Reversibly switchable wettability

Chem. Soc. Rev., 2010
This critical review outlines the current state-of-the-art research on the reversibly switchable wettability of surface brought about by external stimuli and the exchange of counterions. Chemical composition and surface topography are the two key factors in the wettability of solid substrates.

A Review on Wettability Alteration in Carbonate Rocks: Wettability Modifiers

, 2020
More than half of the global oil reserves are in carbonate reservoirs. Carbonate rocks, however, in most cases tend to be mixed-wet or oil-wet.

Wettability of MXene films

Journal of Colloid and Interface Science, 2022
One of the highlighted properties of Ti3C2Tx MXene compared to other 2D nanomaterials is its hydrophilicity. However, the broad range of static contact angles of Ti3C2Tx reported in the literature is misleading. To elucidate the experimental values of the static contact angles and get reproducible contact angle data, it is wiser to perform the ...
