A Monte Carlo Approach to Approximating the Effects of Pore Geometry on the Phase Behavior of Soil Freezing

open access: yesJournal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2020
Freezing in porous media is associated with a host of dynamic phenomena that stem from the presence and mobility of premelted liquid at subzero temperatures.

Surface Modification of 3D Printed Microfluidic Devices for Controlled Wetting in Two-Phase Flow

open access: yesMicromachines, 2022
Microfluidic devices (MFDs) printed in 3-D geometry using digital light projection to polymerize monomers often have surfaces that are not as hydrophobic as MFDs made from polydimethylsiloxane.

Directional wetting in anisotropic inverse opals [PDF]

open access: yes, 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.

Statics and Dynamics of Soft Wetting

open access: yesAnnual Review of Fluid Mechanics, 2020
The laws of wetting are well known for drops on rigid surfaces but change dramatically when the substrate is soft and deformable. The combination of wetting and the intricacies of soft polymeric interfaces have provided many rich examples of fluid ...

Wetting by Liquid Metals—Application in Materials Processing: The Contribution of the Grenoble Group

open access: yesMetals, 2015
The wettability of ceramics by liquid metals is discussed from both the fundamental point of view and the point of view of applications. The role of interfacial reactions (simple dissolution of the solid in the liquid or formation of a layer of a new ...

Surface energetics and structure of the Ge wetting layer on Si(100) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Ge deposited on Si(100) initially forms heteroepitaxial layers, which grow to a critical thickness of ~3 MLs before the appearance of three-dimensional strain relieving structures.

Non-wetting surface-driven high-aspect-ratio crystalline grain growth for efficient hybrid perovskite solar cells

open access: yesNature Communications, 2015
Large-aspect-ratio grains are needed in polycrystalline thin-film solar cells for reduced charge recombination at grain boundaries; however, the grain size in organolead trihalide perovskite (OTP) films is generally limited by the film thickness. Here we

Wetting of nanotubes [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Opinion in Colloid & Interface Science, 2011
Abstract Wettability studies of liquids inside nanometre scale channels commenced shortly after the discovery of carbon nanotubes in the early 1990s. Since then the field has progressively expanded to other kinds of nanotubes and nanochannels as they have become available.

Wetting and Spreading of Commercially Available Aqueous Surfactants on Porous Materials

open access: yesColloids and Interfaces, 2019
The wetting properties of aqueous solutions of a commercially available surfactant at various concentrations on porous media are investigated using the KRUSS DSA100 shape analyzer and the ADVANCED software to process the data.
