A New Framework to Quantify the Wetting Behaviour of Carbonate Rock Surfaces Based on the Relationship between Zeta Potential and Contact Angle
(2020-02-23)
This study introduces a new framework to quantify the wettability of powdered carbonate rock from existing correlations between zeta potential and contact angle. The new framework has the potential to be faster and cheaper ...
Enhanced bulk and superficial hydrophobicities of starch-based bionanocomposites by addition of clay
(2013-10-01)
In this work, thermoplastic starch (TPS)-clay bionanocomposites were obtained by an innovative methodology using a combination of methodologies commonly used in the composites and nanocomposites preparations. The main ...
Wettability of Aqueous Rhamnolipids Solutions Produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa LBI
(Springer Heidelberg, 2009-05-01)
The wetting behavior of rhamnolipids produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa LBI strain grown on waste oil substrate and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) on glass, polyethylene terephthalate (PET), poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC), ...
Wettability and photodegradation activity of sol-gel dip-coated zinc oxide films
(Springer, 2012-08-01)
The hydrophilic characteristics of zinc oxide combined with the electronic properties of this width band gap semi-conductor were used to produce transparent, anti fog and photocatalytic porous films by using a simple sol-gel ...
Nanohardness and contact angle of Si wafers implanted with N and C and Al alloy with N by plasma ion implantation
(Elsevier B.V., 2002-07-01)
Surfaces of silicon wafers implanted with N and C, respectively, and aluminum 5052 implanted with N alone by plasma immersion ion implantation WHO were probed by a nanoindentor and analyzed by the contact-angle method to ...
Evaluation of thermal compatibility between core and veneer dental ceramics using shear bond strength test and contact angle measurement
(Elsevier B.V., 2010-08-01)
Objectives. To test the hypotheses that shear bond strength (sigma(s)) and contact angle (theta) are influenced by the thermal expansion/contraction behavior of bilayered all-ceramic systems.Methods. Glass-infiltrated ...
Optical and structural properties of PEO-like plasma polymers
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2002-01-01)
This paper deals with the study of optical, structural and biocompatible properties of PEO-like plasma polymerized films resulting from RF excited diethylene glycol dimethyl ether (CH3O(CH2CH2O)(2)CH3 diglyme) glow discharges. ...
Surface energy increase of oxygen-plasma-treated PET
(Elsevier B.V., 2003-03-01)
Prosthetic composite is a widely used biomaterial that satisfies the criteria for application as an organic implant without adverse reactions. Polyethylene therephthalate (PET) fiber-reinforced composites have been used ...
Hydrophilization of PVC surfaces by argon plasma immersion ion implantation
(Kluwer Academic/plenum Publ, 2003-03-01)
Commercial polyvinylchloride (PVC) sheets were treated by plasma immersion ion implantation, PIII. Samples were immersed in argon glow discharges and biased with 25 kV negative pulses. Exposure time to the bombardment ...
