Journal ArticleDOI
Study of Factors Governing Oil–Water Separation Process Using TiO2 Films Prepared by Spray Deposition of Nanoparticle Dispersions
Mohammed A. Gondal,Muhammad Subkhi Sadullah,Mohamed A. Dastageer,Gareth H. McKinley,Divya Panchanathan,Kripa K. Varanasi +5 more
TL;DR: The fabrication approach presented here can be applied for coating large surface areas and to develop a large-scale oil-water separation facility for oil-field applications and petroleum industries.
Journal ArticleDOI
Surface Tension of Seawater
TL;DR: In this article, a reference correlation for the surface tension of seawater at atmospheric pressure using the Wilhelmy plate method is presented. But the experimental procedures were validated with tests conducted on ACS reagent grade water and aqueous sodium chloride solutions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Visible light guided manipulation of liquid wettability on photoresponsive surfaces.
Gibum Kwon,Gibum Kwon,Divya Panchanathan,Seyed Reza Mahmoudi,Mohammed A. Gondal,Gareth H. McKinley,Kripa K. Varanasi +6 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that a dye-sensitized TiO2 surface can selectively change the wettability towards contacting liquids upon visible light illumination due to a photo-induced voltage across the liquid and the underlying surface.

Visible light guided manipulation of liquid wettability on photoresponsive surfaces
Gibum Kwon,Divya Panchanathan,Seyed Reza Mahmoudi,Mohammed A. Gondal,Gareth H. McKinley,Kripa K. Varanasi +5 more
TL;DR: Varanasi et al. as discussed by the authors demonstrate that a dye-sensitized photocatalytic TiO2 surface can selectively change the wettability towards contacting liquids upon visible light illumination due to a photo-induced voltage across the liquid and the underlying surface.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plastron Regeneration on Submerged Superhydrophobic Surfaces Using In Situ Gas Generation by Chemical Reaction
TL;DR: A low-cost, scalable method to enable in situ plastron regeneration on large surfaces for marine applications and demonstrates the practical utility by fabricating periodic microtextures on aluminum surfaces that incorporate a cheap catalyst, manganese dioxide.
