Switchable wetting of oxygen-evolving oxide catalysts
The surface wettability of catalysts is typically controlled via surface treatments that promote catalytic performance. Here we report on potential-regulated hydrophobicity/hydrophilicity at cobalt-based oxide interfaces with an alkaline solution.

Wetting films and wetting [PDF]
Macroscopic approach to the wetting phenomena, based on the isotherms of disjoining pressure of wetting films in equilibrium with concave menisci or drops, allows one to calculate the contact angles for different liquids and solid substrates. The results of calculations are presented using the theory of long-range surface forces, and their agreement ...

Transfer of liquid and water vapour through knitted materials [PDF]
Active sportswear has certain functions that should meet the expected properties and improve the performance of athletes. In addition to functionality, an important aspect of sportswear is thermal and physiological comfort. By choosing the right clothing

Effect of partial wetting on liquid/solid mass transfer in trickle bed reactors [PDF]
The wetting efficiency of liquid trickle flow over a fixed bed reactor has been measured for a wide range of parameters including operating conditions, bed structure and physico-chemistry of liquid/solid phases.

There is little literature on the flow properties of the isotropic phase of liquid crystalline fluids. However, this phase is an ideal tool to bridge the physics of liquid crystals with those of (ordinary) fluids.

Crossover scaling of apparent first-order wetting in two dimensional systems with short-ranged forces [PDF]
Recent analyses of wetting in the semi-infinite two dimensional Ising model, extended to include both a surface coupling enhancement and a surface field, have shown that the wetting transition may be effectively first-order and that surprisingly the ...

Single Micrometer-Sized Gels: Unique Mechanics and Characters for Applications
Microgels—small gels of submicron to micron size—are widely used in food, cosmetics and biomedical applications because of their biocompatibility and/or fast response to external environments.

Nanoparticle Coatings on Glass Surfaces to Prevent Pseudomonas fluorescens AR 11 Biofilm Formation
Microbial colonization of surfaces is a sanitary and industrial issue for many applications, leading to product contamination and human infections. When microorganisms closely interact with a surface, they start to produce an exo-polysaccaridic matrix to

Forced wetting of microstructured surfaces
The author has studied the wettability of micro-structured surfaces, some of which have exhibited drag reduction in the channel flow of water in previous experiments.
