Electrocoalescence of Water Droplets in Oil Emulsions: Effect of Electric Fields, Surfactants, and Chemical Demulsifiers
DownloadSpring 2019
Stabilization of water-in-oil droplets during bitumen extraction and refining process poses a major challenge in the oil sands industry. These crude oil emulsions are stabilized by rigid films at water droplet-oil interfaces. The salty water remaining in oil causes equipment corrosion, catalyst...

Localization Model description of interfacial dynamics of free-standing nanoparticles and thin films, and nanoparticle on supporting interacting substrate
DownloadFall 2022
Localization model (LM) relates, without any free parameter, slow dynamics of α-relaxation time (τα) to fast dynamics of Debye-Waller Factor (DWF) or ⟨u2⟩, which is the mean square displacement of particles at a caging time on the order of picoseconds. Moreover, localization model can also...

Fall 2021
Instability, morphology, and dewetting of thin films have been the subject of intensive research due to their important industrial and technological applications, including decorative or protective coatings, an intervening media in liquid-liquid emulsions, and polymer films in soft lithography....
