Phenomenological Model of Wetting Charged Dielectric Surfaces and its Testing with Plasma-Treated Polymer Films and Inflatable Balloons
Edward Bormashenko, Victor Multanen, Gilad Chaniel +4
Plasma treatment of polymer films results in their electrical charging, which in turn gives rise to an increase in their surface energy. The process results in pronounced hydrophil…
Interpretation of Elasticity of Liquid Marbles
Gene Whyman, Edward Bormashenko
Liquid marbles are non-stick droplets covered with micro-scaled particles. Liquid marbles demonstrate quasi-elastic properties when pressed. The interpretation of the phenomenon of…
Surface Instabilities and Patterning in Liquids: Exemplifications of the "Hairy Ball Theorem"
Edward Bormashenko
Application of the "hairy ball theorem" to the analysis of the surface instabilities inherent for liquid/vapor interfaces is reported. When a continuous tangential velocity field e…
Elastic Properties of Liquid Surfaces Coated with Colloidal Particles
Edward Bormashenko, Gene Whyman, Oleg Gendelman
The physical mechanism of elasticity of liquid surfaces coated with colloidal particles is proposed. It is suggested that particles are separated by water clearings and the capilla…
Quantification and Physics of Cold Plasma Treatment of Organic Liquid Surfaces
Edward Bormashenko, Victor Multanen, Gilad Chaniel +5
Plasma treatment increases the surface energy of condensed phases: solids and liquids. Two independent methods of the quantification of the influence imposed by a cold radiofrequen…
