Wettability is the term used to describe the relative adhesion of two fluids to a solid surface. In a porous medium containing two or more immiscible fluids, wettability is a measure of the ...

They noticed that the cat urine was “sticking” to the inside of the plastic syringes they were using, a property chemists refer to as “wettability”. “Generally, the wettability of a ...

Using laser-treated cork, scientists from China and Israel have discovered an innovative method to eliminate petroleum oil ...

Oil spills are catastrophic environmental disasters that wreak havoc on marine ecosystems, lasting for decades and affecting marine wildlife, coral reefs, and coastal regions. The number of oil spills ...

"Generally, the wettability of a liquid on solid surface increases as the surface tension decreases. Based on this knowledge, we hypothesized that the high protein concentration in cat urine might ...

Researchers use laser treatments to transform ordinary cork into a powerful tool for treating oil spills. They tested variations of a fast-pulsing laser treatment, closely examining the nanoscopic ...

These properties seem to stem primarily from the micro- and nanostructured nature of the surfaces. Lotus leaves are covered with bumps called papillae, which are themselves coated with randomly ...

The principle is that creepers secrete a liquid with good wettability, which penetrates into the pore structure of the ...

People may be able to avoid the trouble of trying to look around for power banks to recharge their phones by using their ...

Xingyuan Material, together with the coating material giant Thai Polyacid, jointly launched the new generation of SafeBM aramid-coated separators at their global new product launch event. It is ...

"In a different laser experiment, we accidentally found that the wettability of the cork processed using a laser changed significantly, gaining superhydrophobic (water-repelling) and ...
