Magnetic Field Inspired Contact Angle Hysteresis Drives Floating Polyolefin Rafts
Mark Frenkel, Victor Danchuk, Victor Multanen +1
Displacement of floating polymer (polyolefin) rafts by steady magnetic field is reported. The effect is due to the interplay of gravity deforming the water/vapor interface, contact…
Friction, Free Axes of Rotation and Entropy
Alexander Kazachkov, Victor Multanen, Viktor Danchuk +2
Friction forces acting on rotators may promote their alignment and therefore eliminate degrees of freedom in their movement. The alignment of rotators by friction force was demonst…
Paradoxical Coffee-Stain Effect Driven by the Marangoni Flow Observed on Oil-Infused Surfaces
Gilad Chaniel, Mark Frenkel, Victor Multanen +1
Formation of coffee stain deposits under evaporation of droplets containing aqueous solution of salts placed on silicone-oil impregnated substrates was observed. The formation of r…
Camphor-Engine-Driven Micro-Boat Guides Evolution of Chemical Gardens
Mark Frenkel, Victor Multanen, Roman Grynyov +3
A micro-boat self-propelled by a camphor engine, carrying seed crystals of FeCl3, promoted the evolution of chemical gardens when placed on the surface of aqueous solutions of pota…
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…
Physical Mechanisms of Interaction of Cold Plasma with Polymer Surfaces
Edward Bormashenko, Gene Whyman, Victor Multanen +2
Physical mechanisms of the interaction of cold plasmas with organic surfaces are discussed. Trapping of plasma ions by the CH2 groups of polymer surfaces resulting in their electri…
