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…
Self-Propulsion of a Metallic Superoleophobic Micro-Boat
Albina Musin, Roman Grynyov, Mark Frenkel +1
The self-propulsion of a heavy, superoleophobic, metallic micro-boat carrying a droplet of various aqueous alcohol solutions as a fuel tank is reported. The micro boat is driven by…
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…
Self-Propulsion of Liquid Marbles: Leidenfrost-Like Levitation Driven by the Marangoni Flow
Edward Bormashenko, Yelena Bormashenko, Roman Grynyov +3
Self-propulsion of liquid marbles filled with aqueous alcohol solutions and placed on a water surface is reported. The characteristic of velocity of the marbles is about 0.1 m/s. T…
Hydrophilization of Liquid Surfaces by Plasma Treatment
Victor Multanen, Gilad Chaniel, Roman Grynyov +3
The impact of the cold radiofrequency air plasma on the surface properties of silicone oils (polydimethylsiloxane) was studied. Silicone oils of various molecular masses were marke…
Low Voltage Reversible Electrowetting Exploiting Lubricated Polymer Honeycomb Substrates
Edward Bormashenko, Roman Pogreb, Yelena Bormashenko +2
Low-voltage electrowetting-on-dielectric scheme realized with lubricated honeycomb polymer surfaces is reported. Polycarbonate honeycomb reliefs manufactured with the breath-figure…
Scaling laws governing the roughness of the swash edge line
Ed. Bormashenko, A. Musin, R. Grynuov
The physics of swash i.e. a layer of water that washes up on the beach after an incoming wave has broken is complicated and intriguing. It includes perplexed hydrodynamic and sedim…
