Janus Membrane with a Dense Hydrophilic Surface Layer for Robust Fouling and Wetting Resistance in Membrane Distillation: New Insights into Wetting Resistance.

Environmental Science and Technology, 2021
Although membrane distillation (MD) has been identified as a promising technology to treat hypersaline wastewaters, its practical applications face two prominent challenges: membrane wetting and fouling.

To wet or not to wet?

Physics World, 1996
Something as commonplace as a drop of liquid on a surface may seem simple to understand. But the behaviour of this droplet, particularly if it spreads over the surface to form a film, has immense technological importance. "Wetting" can, for example, affect the growth of crucial film layers during the manufacture of semiconductor devices.

Unraveling the Kinetics and Mechanism of Surfactant-Induced Wetting in Membrane Distillation: An In Situ Observation with Optical Coherence Tomography.

Environmental Science and Technology, 2021
In this study, we performed a direct contact membrane distillation and successfully demonstrated the non-invasive imaging of surfactant-induced wetting using optical coherence tomography.

Turning autophobic wetting on biomimetic surfaces into complete wetting by wetting additives

Soft Matter, 2020
Autophobicity or pseudo partial wetting, a phenomenon of a liquid not spreading on its own monolayer, is characterized by an energy barrier that prevents the growth of a wetting film beyond the monolayer thickness, which additionally may have an impact on the conditioning performance of films.

Can Composite Janus Membranes with an Ultrathin Dense Hydrophilic Layer Resist Wetting in Membrane Distillation?

Environmental Science and Technology, 2020
Tackling membrane wetting is an on-going challenge for large-scale applications of membrane distillation (MD). Herein, composite Janus MD membranes comprising an ultrathin dense hydrophilic layer are developed by layer-by-layer assembling cationic ...

Artificial Solid-Electrolyte Interface Facilitating Dendrite-Free Zinc Metal Anodes via Nano-Wetting Effect.

ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces, 2019
The formation of dendrite on zinc (Zn) metal anode has limited its practical applications on aqueous batteries. Herein, an artificial composite protective layer consisting of nano-sized metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) to improve the poor wetting effect ...

THE WET CHILD

Urologic Clinics of North America, 1998
Urinary incontinence is one of the most frequent problems seen in pediatric urology. Although there can be serious structural problems that produce wetting, most of the children seen will have nonstructural causes for their incontinence. A systematic approach and persistence with therapy should result in resolution of the problem in most instances.

Elucidating the Trade-off between Membrane Wetting Resistance and Water Vapor Flux in Membrane Distillation.

Environmental Science and Technology, 2020
Membrane distillation (MD) has been receiving considerable attentions as a promising technology for desalinating industrial wastewaters. While hydrophobic membranes are essential for the process, increasing membrane surface hydrophobicity generally leads

Anisotropy of Wetting

Annual Review of Materials Research, 2008
Wetting of single-crystal surfaces of metallic solids and oxides by liquid metals and alloys is anisotropic because of the anisotropy of the energies of solid surfaces and of their interfaces with liquids. To provide a basis for a discussion of wetting anisotropy, we review first the literature on surface and interfacial energies in metal-metal and ...
