Straight versus Spongy -- Effect of Tortuosity on Polymer Imbibition into Nanoporous Matrices Assessed by Segmentation-Free Analysis of 3D Sample Reconstructions
Fernando Vazquez Luna, Anjani K. Maurya, Juliana Martins de Souza e Silva +6
We comparatively analyzed imbibition of polystyrene (PS) into two complementary pore models having pore diameters of about 380 nm and hydroxyl-terminated inorganic-oxidic pore wall…
Polymeric Liquids in Nanoporous Photonic Structures: From Precursor Film Spreading to Imbibition Dynamics at the Nanoscale
Guido Dittrich, Luisa G. Cencha, Martin Steinhart +4
Polymers are known to wet nanopores with high surface energy through an atomically thin precursor film followed by slower capillary filling. We present here light interference spec…
Statistical Analysis of Submicron X-Ray Tomography Data on Polymer Imbibition into Arrays of Cylindrical Nanopores
Fernando Vazquez Luna, Michael Gerstenberger, Guido Dittrich +4
Frozen transient imbibition states in arrays of straight cylindrical pores 400 nm in diameter were imaged by phase-contrast X-ray computed tomography with single-pore resolution. A…
Precursor Film Spreading during Liquid Imbibition in Nanoporous Photonic Crystals
Luisa G. Cencha, Guido Dittrich, Patrick Huber +2
When a macroscopic droplet spreads, a thin precursor film of liquid moves ahead of the advancing liquid-solid-vapor contact line. Whereas this phenomenon has been explored extensiv…
Silicon Flexes Muscles: Giant Electrochemical Actuation in a Nanoporous Silicon-Polypyrrole Hybrid Material
Manuel Brinker, Guido Dittrich, Claudia Richert +5
The absence of piezoelectricity in silicon makes direct electro-mechanical applications of this mainstream semiconductor impossible. Integrated electrical control of the silicon me…
