Journal ArticleDOI
Techniques for determining contact angle and wettability of powders
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarized some common methods for determining the wettability of powders, especially the contact angle that a liquid would form on powders and compared the advantages and disadvantages of these techniques.
Journal ArticleDOI
Macroscopic evidence of the effect of interfacial slippage on adhesion.
TL;DR: The adhesion strengths of a viscoelastic adhesive were measured on various substrates that were prepared by grafting silanes bearing organic functional groups to silicon wafers, and adhesion on a fluorocarbon surface was significantly greater than on some of the hydrocarbon surfaces, although the fluorOCarbon surface has the lowest surface free energy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Marangoni flow-induced self-assembly of hexagonal and stripelike nanoparticle patterns.
Yangjun Cai,Bi-min Zhang Newby +1 more
TL;DR: A simple Marangoni flow-induced method for self-assembling nanoparticles (NPs) into both hexagonal and stripelike patterns is developed, induced by simultaneous evaporation of ethanol and condensation of water.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of Interfacial Slippage on Viscoelastic Adhesion
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the strength of viscoelastic adhesion would decrease if the shear stress in the adhesive is relaxed by a slip process at the interface.
Journal ArticleDOI
Micrometer-scaled Gradient Surfaces Generated Using Contact Printing of Octadecyltrichlorosilane
TL;DR: In this paper, a fast, convenient, reproducible, and inexpensive method that generates gradient surfaces with minimum waste generation was proposed, where the authors adopted Whitesides's contactprinting technique to achieve a gradient by gradually varying the contact time over the contacted area using octadecyltrichlorosilane.
