  1. 1. Hydrophobic surfaces: Effect of surface structure on wetting and interaction forces

    Författare :Petra M Hansson; Per M. Claesson; Agne Swerin; Adam C Simonsen; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; hydrophobic surface; superhydrophobic surface; atomic force microscopy; surface forces; capillary forces; cavitaion; surface roughness; friction; wetting; confocal Raman; contact angles; surface preparation; Langmuir-Blodgett;

    Sammanfattning : The use of hydrophobic surfaces is important for many processes both in nature and industry. Interactions between hydrophobic species play a key role in industrial applications such as water-cleaning procedures and pitch control during papermaking but they also give information on how to design surfaces like hydrophobic mineral pigments.

  3. 2. Separation of Proteins with Capillary Electrophoresis in Coated Capillaries with and without Electroosmosis : Studies on Zone Broadening and Analytical Performances

    Författare :Sheila Mohabbati; Douglas Westerlund; Bo Karlberg; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Pharmaceutical chemistry; Capillary electrophoresis; capillary coatings; proteins; zone broadening; zone sharpening; efficiency; resolution; protein-surface adsorption; protein-buffer interaction; analytical performance; Farmaceutisk kemi;

    Sammanfattning : Proteins have such structural features that they may interact with different types of surfaces by all possible forces, i.e., electrostatic, hydrogen bonding, hydrophobic. In this thesis two different types of coatings for fused silica capillaries aimed to eliminate such interactions have been studied. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Evaluation of Capillary Flow in Gels - The Liquid Uptake of Capillaries and Gelation Mechanisms in Alginate Gels

    Författare :Johanna Andersson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; alginate gel; capillary action; Capillary flow;

    Sammanfattning : For centuries it has been known that wetting liquids penetrate porous materials if the pores are sufficiently small. In some cases the liquid penetration is desired, like in kitchen paper or diapers, in other systems the penetration should be minimised or avoided, like in water repellent textiles or paper printing.

  5. 4. Diffuse-Interface Simulations of Capillary Phenomena

    Författare :Walter Villanueva; Gustav Amberg; Steffen Hardt; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; capillary-driven flows; wetting; Cahn-Hilliard Navier-Stokes system; multicomponent and multiphase flows; parallel adaptive computing; Other engineering mechanics; Övrig teknisk mekanik;

    Sammanfattning : Fluid flows mainly driven by capillary forces are presented in this thesis. By means of modeling and simulations, interesting dynamics in capillary-driven flows are revealed such as coalescences, breakups, precursor films, flow instabilities, rapid spreading, rigid body motions, and reactive wetting.

  7. 5. Super liquid-repellent surfaces - interactions and gas capillaries

    Författare :Mimmi Eriksson; Per M. Claesson; Agne Swerin; Marie Skepö; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; superhydrophobicity; superamphiphobicity; wetting; capillary forces; AFM; LSCM; superhydrofobicitet; superamfifobicitet; vätning; kapillärkrafter; AFM; LSCM; Kemi; Chemistry;

    Sammanfattning : Super liquid-repellent surfaces have attracted a lot of interest in recent years. In addition to the large scientific interest there are many potential technological applications ranging from self-cleaning materials to microfluidic devices. LÄS MER
