Nanoextraction from a flow of a highly diluted solution for much-improved sensitivity in offline chemical detection and quantification

Hongyan Wu, Quynh Nhu Le, Binglin Zeng +1

Preconcentration of the target compound is a critical step that ensures the accuracy of the subsequent chemical analysis. In this work, we present a straightforward yet effective l…

Dissolution Dynamics of a Binary Switchable Hydrophilicty Solvent -- Polymer Drop into an Acidic Aqueous Phase

Romain Billet, Binglin Zeng, James Lockhart +3

Switchable hydrophilicity solvents (SHSs) are solvents defined by their ability to switch from their hydrophobic form to a hydrophilic form when put in contact with an acidic trigg…

Droplet dissolution driven by emerging thermal gradients and Marangoni flow

Binglin Zeng, Yuliang Wang, Christian Diddens +2

The lifetime of an isothermal and purely diffusively dissolving droplet in a host liquid scales as with its initial radius [Langmuir, Phys. Rev. 12, 368 (19…
