Ubiquitous preferential water adsorption to electrodes in water/1-propanol mixtures detected by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy
Haruto Iwasaki, Yasuyuki Kimura, Yuki Uematsu
The electric double layer is an important structure that appears at charged liquid interfaces, and it determines the performance of various electrochemical devices such as supercap…
Ostwald ripening of aqueous microbubble solutions
Sota Inoue, Yasuyuki Kimura, Yuki Uematsu
Bubble solutions are of growing interest because of various technological applications in surface cleaning, water treatment, and agriculture. However, their physicochemical propert…
Electrophoretic mobility of a water-in-oil droplet separately affected by the net charge and surface charge density
Yuki Uematsu, Hiroyuki Ohshima
Water-in-oil emulsions and droplets exhibit completely different physico-chemical properties compared to oil-in-water emulsions and droplets. Thus, directly applying a standard the…
Nonlinear electro-osmosis in dilute non-adsorbing polymer solutions with low ionic strength
Yuki Uematsu
Nonlinear behavior of electro-osmosis in dilute non-adsorbing polymer solutions with low salinity is investigated with Brownian dynamics simulations and a kinetic theory. In the Br…
Electrophoresis of electrically neutral porous spheres induced by selective affinity of ions
Yuki Uematsu
We investigate the possibility that electrically neutral porous spheres electrophorese in electrolyte solutions with asymmetric affinity of ions to spheres on the basis of electroh…
Electro-Osmotic Flow of Semidilute Polyelectrolyte Solutions
Yuki Uematsu, Takeaki Araki
We investigate electro-osmosis in aqueous solutions of polyelectrolytes using mean-field equations. A solution of positively charged polyelectrolytes is confined between two negati…
Effects of strongly selective additives on volume phase transition in gels
Yuki Uematsu, Takeaki Araki
We investigate volume phase transition in gels immersed in mixture solvents, on the basis of a three-component Flory-Rehner theory. When the selectivity of the minority solvent com…
