Self-Propelling Rotator Driven by Soluto-Capillary Marangoni Flows
Mark Frenkel, Gene Whyman, Evgeny Shulzinger +2
The self-propelled, longstanding rotation of the polymer tubing containing camphor continuing for dozens of hours is reported. The rotator is driven by the solutocapillary Marangon…
Under-liquid Self-Assembly of Submerged Buoyant Polymer Particles
Victor Multanen, Roman Pogreb, Yelena Bormashenko +4
The self-assembly of submerged cold-plasma-treated polyethylene beads is reported. The plasma-treated immersed millimetrically-sized polyethylene beads formed well-ordered 2D quasi…
Sagging Ropes Demonstrate the Transversality Conditions of Variational Problems
Edward Bormashenko, Gene Whyman, Yelena Bormashenko +3
An account of the transversality conditions of variational problems gives rise to essential results in the analysis of different physical phenomena. This powerful and elegant appro…
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…
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…
