Wettability Increase by “Corona” Ionization [PDF]
Langmuir, 2011 Experiments showing an increase in the wettability of a hydrophobic surface when using corona air ionization are shown. Photoluminiscence observations support the predictions of charge accumulation at the triple line and confirm previous experiments. In all of the experiments, the contact angle was in the saturation regime at a value smaller than that ...

Effect of Patterned Slip on Micro and Nanofluidic Flows
, 2005 We consider the flow of a Newtonian fluid in a nano or microchannel with walls that have patterned variations in slip length. We formulate a set of equations to describe the effects on an incompressible Newtonian flow of small variations in slip, and ...

Surface modification of an Al2O3/SiO2 based ceramic treated with CO2, Nd:YAG, excimer and high power diode lasers for altered wettability characteristics [PDF]
, 1998 Interaction of CO2, Nd:YAG, excimer and high power diode laser (HPDL) radiation with the surface of an Al2O3/SiO2 based ceramic was found to affect significant changes in the wettability characteristics of the material.

Effects of Lignosulfonate Structure on the Surface Activity and Wettability to a Hydrophobic Powder
BioResources, 2014 The wettability of a solid material is very important in many applications, such as food, agrochemical formulations, and cosmetics. Wettability can be improved by adding surface active agents, especially biocompatible surfactants derived from biomass. In

The effects of high power diode laser radiation on the wettability, adhesion and bonding characteristics of an alumina/silica-based oxide and vitreous enamel [PDF]
, 1999 An amalgamated alumina/silica-based oxide compound (AOC) was surface treated using a 60 W high power diode laser (HPDL). The effects of HPDL radiation on the wettability and adhesion characteristics of the AOC and a vitreous enamel have been determined.
