The hydrophobic (HB) interaction plays a critical role in many colloidal and interfacial phenomena, biophysical industrial processes. Surface hydrophobicity, characterized by the water contact angle, is generally considered most dominant parameter determining HB interaction. Herein, we quantified interactions between air bubbles series of surfaces with different nanoscale structures surface chemistry aqueous media using bubble probe atomic force microscopy (AFM). Surprisingly, it discovered...
The interactions between air bubbles and hydrophobic polymer surfaces in aqueous media play important roles many industrial engineering processes. In this work, the interaction forces bubble a model polymer–polystyrene (PS) NaCl solutions (1 mM to 1000 mM) were directly measured using probe atomic force microscope (AFM) technique, analyzed by theoretical based on Reynolds lubrication theory augmented Young–Laplace equation including influence of disjoining pressure. It was found that...
The enhanced compositional flexibility of complex concentrated materials, which can incorporate multiple-principal elements, provides the opportunity to explore a wider range compositions and unconventional properties in multifunctional materials. Complex oxides (CCOs) have demonstrated attractive functionalities energy storage catalysis applications, motivating expansion boundaries CCOs with accessible unique properties. However, development utilization CCOs, especially large-scale...
With increasing implementation of off-site prefabrication and modular construction technologies, the complexity material supply chain management on projects has grown substantially. However, research scheduling yet to take dynamic logistics as an explicit constraint in analytically deriving schedules addressing impacts uncertainties project budget. This study proposes a two-step analytical approach tackle identified problem. First, programming-based optimization model is developed derive...
Mussel-inspired polydopamine (PDA) can be readily deposited on almost all kinds of substrates and possesses versatile wet adhesion. Meanwhile, slippery surfaces have attracted much attention for their self-cleaning capabilities. It remains unclear how the PDA adhesive would interact with surfaces. In this work, both liquid-infused poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE) (LI-PTFE) solid (i.e., self-assembly small thiol-terminated organosilane, polysiloxane covalently attached to substrates) were...
Abstract In this work, a bubble probe atomic force microscope (AFM) was employed to quantify the interactions between two air bubbles and an octadecyltrichlorosilane (OTS)‐hydrophobized mica under various aqueous conditions. The key parameters (e.g., surface potentials, decay length of hydrophobic attraction) were obtained by analyzing measured forces through theoretical model based on Reynolds lubrication theory augmented Young–Laplace equation including effect disjoining pressure....
Mineral particles encountered in oil production and many chemical processes are generally adsorbed with organics (e.g., bitumen), playing an important role determining their wettability interaction behaviors. In this work, the surface properties of fine solids, collected from solvent-based extraction Athabasca sands using cyclohexane as solvent, have been systematically characterized by several complementary techniques. The solids were shown to be mainly composed silica aluminosilicate...
