Interaction of surfactants with Prunus laurocerasus leaf surfaces: time-dependent recovery of wetting contact angles depends on physico-chemical properties of surfactants

open access: yesChemical and Biological Technologies in Agriculture, 2023
Background Surfactants are added to spray solutions because they significantly improve foliar uptake of active ingredients (AIs) into the leaves. It was intended to investigate whether surfactant solutions forming a dried deposit on Prunus leaf surfaces ...

Ionic conductivity on a wetting surface [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review E, 2009
Recent experiments measuring the electrical conductivity of DNA molecules highlight the need for a theoretical model of ion transport along a charged surface. Here we present a simple theory based on the idea of unbinding of ion pairs. The strong humidity dependence of conductivity is explained by the decrease in the electrostatic self-energy of a ...

Dynamic pore wetting and its effects on porous particle flotation: A review

open access: yesInternational Journal of Mining Science and Technology, 2022
The dynamic pore wetting plays an important role in the flotation of porous particle, such as coal, fly ash, gasification slag, etc. Water phase get into the pores and crevices on the surface and inside of the particles, creating a dense water layer that

Mechanical properties of wetting contacts between coarse-grained limestone

open access: yesShenzhen Daxue xuebao. Ligong ban, 2023
In order to explore inter-particle contact mechanical properties of geotechnical coarse particles after wetting, the contact form between coarse particles is simplified into point-surface contact.

Wetting of pulsed plasma fluoropolymers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
The work presented in this thesis is an investigation of the surface properties of fluoropolymers synthesized via pulsed plasma polymerization. The focus is on perfluoroalkyl acrylate (PFAC-n, where n is the number of carbons in the perfluoroalkyl chain)

Super-hydrophobic and super-wetting surfaces: analytical potential? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Roughening or texturing surfaces provides super-liquid repellent or film forming properties without alteration of the surface chemistry. These surfaces are easy to produce, can amplify wetting properties and can be either "sticky" or "slippy" to liquids.

Extension of the natural element method to surface tension and wettability for the simulation of polymer flows at the micro and nano scales [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The natural element method is used to simulate two-dimensional viscous flows where interfacial effects must be taken into account, for application to polymer melts at the micro and nano scales.

Voltage-induced spreading and superspreading of liquids [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The ability to quickly spread a liquid across a surface and form a film is fundamental for a diverse range of technological processes, including printing, painting and spraying.
