We investigate experimentally the effects of pore size, surface wettability, and penetration mode on the characteristics of liquid penetration through meshes. Utilizing the impact of …
Hypothesis: Quantitative characterization of surface wettability through contact angle (CA) measurement using the sessile droplet (SD) or captive bubble (CB) methods is often limited …
Using a mesh surface is a promising technique in oil-water separation applications. In this paper, we investigated the dynamic impact of a silicone oil drop with different viscosities on …
Hypothesis The interfacial energy γ sl between a solid and a liquid designates the affinity between these two phases, and in turn, the macroscopic wettability of the surface by the …
