Dependence of the Interfacial Adhesion between Two Different Types of Material on their Electron Work Function and Electrical Conductivity
DownloadFall 2021
We observed and investigated a novel interfacial phenomenon related to the dependence of interfacial bonding or adhesive force (Fad) between two substances on the difference in their Electron Work Functions (EWF) or Δφ, and developed a model to quantify such a dependence. First, using...

Probing the Surface Interaction Mechanisms of Air Bubbles and Oil Droplets with Hydrophobic Polymers, Asphaltenes and Bitumen
DownloadSpring 2023
Interfacial interactions among solid particles, gas bubbles and liquid drops play a critical role in numerous interfacial phenomena and biophysical and industrial processes, such as drug and gene delivery in biological systems, froth flotation and oil/water separation in mining and oil extraction...
