Analysis of a combined influence of substrate wetting and surface electromigration on a thin film stability and dynamical morphologies [PDF]

, 2013
A PDE-based model combining surface electromigration and wetting is developed for the analysis of morphological stability of ultrathin solid films.

Bionic superhydrophobic surfaces based on topography of copper oxides

Biosurface and Biotribology, 2022
Superhydrophobic surfaces (SHSs) exist in many biological organisms endowed by spectacular surface topographies, which provide important insights to drive a paradigm shift in design of engineering surfaces.

Physicochemical Variables Better Explain Changes in Microbial Community Structure and Abundance under Alternate Wetting and Drying Events

Agriculture, 2022
Soil microbial communities play an important role in nutrient cycling; however, their response under repeated long-term fertilization has attracted little attention and needs further appraisal.

Can attenuated total internal reflection-Fourier transform infrared be used to understand the interaction between polymers and water? A hyperspectral imaging study

Journal of Spectral Imaging, 2017
This study investigates the potential use of attenuated total internal reflection-Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FT-IR) imaging, a hyperspectral imaging modality, to investigate molecular level trends in the interaction of water with polymeric surfaces ...

Directional wetting in anisotropic inverse opals [PDF]

, 2014
Porous materials display interesting transport phenomena due to the restricted motion of fluids within the nano- to micro-scale voids. Here, we investigate how liquid wetting in highly ordered inverse opals is affected by anisotropy in pore geometry.

Bulk and Surface Low Temperature Phase Transitions in the Mg-Alloy EZ33A

Metals, 2020
Low-temperature phase transitions in the EZ33A Mg-cast alloy have been investigated. Based on the structure assessment of the alloy after annealing at 150 °C (1826 h) and at 200 °C (2371 h) a grain boundary wetting transition by a second solid phase was ...

Application of TOF-SIMS Method in the Study of Wetting the Iron (111) Surface with Promoter Oxides

Molecules, 2022
In the present work, a simplified model of the Fe(111) surface’s promoter-oxide system was investigated in order to experimentally verify the previously proposed and known models concerning the structure and chemical composition of the surfaces of iron ...

Crossover scaling of apparent first-order wetting in two dimensional systems with short-ranged forces [PDF]

, 2016
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 ...

The Greening and Wetting of the Sahel Have Leveled off since about 1999 in Relation to SST

Remote Sensing, 2020
The Sahel, a semi-arid climatic zone with highly seasonal and erratic rainfall, experienced severe droughts in the 1970s and 1980s. Based on remote sensing vegetation indices since early 1980, a clear greening trend is found, which can be attributed to ...

Adsorption Properties of Soft Hydrophobically Functionalized PSS/MA Polyelectrolytes

Colloids and Interfaces, 2021
We investigated the adsorption properties of the newly synthesized, hydrophobically functionalized polyelectrolyte (HF-PE), poly(4-styrenesulfonic-co-maleic acid) copolymer (PSS/MA).
