Event-based contact angle measurements inside porous media using time-resolved micro-computed tomography [PDF]

, 2020
Hypothesis: Capillary-dominated multiphase flow in porous materials is strongly affected by the pore walls' wettability. Recent micro-computed tomography (mCT) studies found unexpectedly wide contact angle distributions measured on static fluid ...

Modifying geopolymer wettability by plasma treatment and high-carbon fly ash

Frontiers in Built Environment, 2022
This paper deals with investigation of changes in geopolymer wettability with increasing mass fraction of high-carbon fly ash and surface treatment by cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) to determine the influence of fly ash on wettability and whether it is a ...

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.

Influence of Multiple Factors on the Wettability and Surface Free Energy of Leaf Surface

Applied Sciences, 2019
The wettability of plant leaves directly reflects leaf hydrophilicity, which is the key factor that influences the adhesion of liquid pesticide as well as affects plant protection products (PPP) efficacy.

Imaging spontaneous imbibition in full Darcy‐scale samples at pore‐scale resolution by fast X‐ray tomography [PDF]

, 2019
Spontaneous imbibition is a process occurring in a porous medium which describes wetting phase replacing nonwetting phase spontaneously due to capillary forces.

Wetting and bonding characteristics of selected liquid-metals with a high power diode laser treated alumina bioceramic [PDF]

, 2004
Changes in the wettability characteristics of an alumina bioceramic occasioned by high power diode laser (HPDL) surface treatment were apparent from the observed reduction in the contact angle.
