Visualizing and Quantifying Wettability Alteration by Silica Nanofluids
Shidong Li, Anqi Sng, Dan Daniel +3
An aqueous suspension of silica nanoparticles or nanofluid can alter the wettability of surfaces, specifically by making them hydrophilic and oil-repellent under water. Wettability…
Quantifying surface wetting properties using droplet probe AFM
Dan Daniel, Yunita Florida, Chee Leng Lay +3
Surface wettability has a huge influence on its functional properties. For example, to minimize smudging, surfaces should be able to repel oil droplets. To quantify surface wettabi…
Mapping micron-scale wetting properties of superhydrophobic surfaces
Dan Daniel, Chee Leng Lay, Anqi Sng +4
There is a huge interest in developing super-repellent surfaces for anti-fouling and heat transfer applications. To characterize the wetting properties of such surfaces, the most c…
Hydration lubrication of polyzwitterionic brushes leads to nearly friction- and adhesion-free droplet motion
Dan Daniel, Alfred Yu Ting Chia, Lionel Chuan Hui Moh +4
Recently, there has been much progress in the design and application of oil-repellent superoleophobic surfaces. Polyzwitterionic brush surfaces are of particular interest, because…
Film dynamics and lubricant depletion by droplets moving on lubricated surfaces
Michael J. Kreder, Dan Daniel, Adam Tetreault +4
Lubricated surfaces have shown promise in numerous applications where impinging foreign droplets must be removed easily; however, before they can be widely adopted, the problem of…
Origins of liquid-repellency on structured, flat, and lubricated surfaces
Dan Daniel, Jaakko V. I. Timonen, Ruoping Li +4
There are currently three main classes of high-performance liquid-repellent surfaces: micro-/nano-structured lotus-effect superhydrophobic surfaces, flat surfaces grafted with 'liq…
