How Wettability Controls Nanoprinting [PDF]

Physical Review Letters, 2020
Using large scale molecular dynamics simulations, we study in detail the impact of nanometer droplets of low viscosity on flat substrates versus the wettability of the solid plate. The comparison between the molecular dynamics simulations and different macroscopic models reveals that most of these models do not correspond to the simulation results at ...

Enhancement of surface wettability via micro- and nanostructures by single point diamond turning

Nanotechnology and Precision Engineering, 2019
Studies on surface wettability have received tremendous interest due to their potential applications in research and industrial processes. One of the strategies to tune surface wettability is modifying surface topography at micro- and nanoscales. In this

Wettability-dependent Wave Velocities and Attenuation in Granular Porous Media

, 2022
Understanding seismic wave propagation in granular porous media is important for subsurface characterization. The presence of fluids, their distribution and the prevailing wettability condition results in additional complexities.

Insights into the Mechanism of Wettability Alteration by Low-Salinity Flooding (LSF) in Carbonates [PDF]

, 2015
The low-salinity effect (LSE) in carbonate rock has been less explored in comparison to sandstone rock. Laboratory experiments have shown that brine composition and (somewhat reduced) salinity can have a positive impact on oil recovery in carbonates ...

Lubrication Film Generation with Limited Lubricant Supply and Its Tuned Oil Replenishment in a Cylinder-on-Disc Contact

Lubricants, 2023
Limited lubricant supply (LLS) with tuned dosage is an emerging approach to reduce friction and energy consumption. However, LLS can cause severe starvation when the oil supply is insufficient.

Mimicking water striders’ legs superhydrophobicity and buoyancy with cabbage leaves and nanotube carpets [PDF]

, 2013
In this work, we have studied the superhydrophobicity and buoyancy of two types of nanostructured surfaces: the cabbage leaf and a vertically aligned carbon nanotubes (VACNTs) carpet. The wettability of these surfaces were characterized by contact angle,
