Bubbles enable volumetric negative compressibility in metastable elastocapillary systems
Davide Caprini, Francesco Battista, Pawel Zajdel +11
Although coveted in applications, few materials expand when subject to compression or contract under decompression, i.e., exhibit the negative compressibility phenomenon. A key ste…
Features of the Contact Angle Hysteresis at the Nanoscale: A Molecular Dynamics Insight
Viktor Mandrolko, Guillaume Castanet, Sergii Burian +4
Understanding the physics of a three-phase contact line between gas, liquid, and solid is important for numerous applications. At the macroscale, the three-phase contact line respo…
Local grafting heterogeneities control water intrusion and extrusion in nanopores
Sonia Cambiaso, Fabio Rasera, Antonio Tinti +4
Hydrophobic nanoporous materials can be intruded by water only by exerting an external action, typically increasing pressure. For some materials, water extrudes when the pressure i…
Hierarchical macro-nanoporous metals for leakage-free high-thermal conductivity shape-stabilized phase change materials
Yaroslav Grosu, Yanqi Zhao, Alberto Giacomello +6
Impregnation of Phase Change Materials (PCMs) into a porous medium is a promising way to stabilize their shape and improve thermal conductivity which are essential for thermal ener…
