Viscous droplet impact on nonwettable surfaces with complex geometry is of technological importance, but the fundamental understanding dynamics not entirely understood yet. In this work, liquid drops various viscosities and velocities were investigated, their behavior was correlated contact time upon impinging flat textured surfaces. It shown that in inertial-capillary regime, between a surface independent velocity, whereas for viscous-capillary it increases velocity. Drops impacting single...
Biofilm development, associated with the adherence of microbial cells on various solid substrates, has an adverse economic impact and is main reason for spreading infections. The present article reports novel findings about anti-bioadhesion performance four types superhydrophobic soot coatings, deposited via combustion flame synthesis further functionalized using plasma polymerization and/or fluorination, towards a Gram-negative bacterial strain Pseudomonas putida. real-time sensor response...
Condensation frosting is an undesired natural phenomenon that could be impeded efficiently using appropriate wettability and morphologically patterned surfaces. The icephobic properties of carbon soot the fabrication scalability its synthesis method are a good foundation for anti-frosting applications; however, fundamentals frost growth spreading on sooted surfaces have not been examined yet. In this study, we investigate performance three groups superhydrophobic coatings by means 16 MHz...
Combining the recyclability of heterogeneous catalysts with high activity ligated homogeneous for production complex organic molecules is a cardinal goal catalyst development. We have investigated ultra-fine Pd clusters bound to vacancy defective sites in graphene and found that both serves as support stabilize recyclable catalyst, also functions ligand enhancing catalytic activity. In this paper, we report computational experimental results provide insights into nature interfacial...
First-principles theoretical studies on the electronic properties and activation energies for three steps of Suzuki cross-coupling reaction have been performed 3d transition-metal clusters Pd/Ni bimetallic supported defected graphene. The ability to effectively donate accept charge is found be critical activity catalysts, graphene further enhances this ability. Nickel acts as best replacement palladium in catalysts oxidation but not a good transmetallation reductive elimination which require...
Hydrogen chloride (HCl) gas is a hazardous byproduct of industrial processes. Colorimetric approaches to facilitate portable and remote detection are especially desirable. We graft polyaniline the surface electrospun nylon nanofibers minimize mass transfer. Using resulting nanofibers, we demonstrate colorimetric HCl at sub-ppm levels. investigated reusability fibers observed twofold increase in limit with multiple uses because dedoping PANi indicated by elemental analysis. The using visual...
