Nanowear of salivary films vs. substratum wettability.
The pellicle serves as a multifunctional protective layer, providing, e.g., lubrication and remineralization and also acting as a diffusion barrier. In addition, since the formation of the pellicle precedes the adhesion of micro-organisms, it is also important as a conditioning film. We present a novel approach to study the influence of the water wettability of solid surfaces on the strength of...
متن کاملSubstratum heterogeneity of dredged vs un-dredged maerl grounds
Maerl grounds are formed from loose-lying, normally non-geniculated, coralline red algae (Corallinaceae). Such grounds are found in areas characterized primarily by high water movements in the photic zone. Maerl grounds form shallow marine biotopes of high biodiversity, analogous to kelp forests and sea grass beds, all of which are habitats created by marine phototrophs (Birkett et al., 1998; B...
متن کاملElectrically tunable wettability of liquid crystal/polymer composite films.
An electrically tunable wettability in a liquid crystal/ polymer composite film is demonstrated, in which liquid crystal molecules are anchored among polymer grains. The tunable wettability of the composite films originates from the reorientation of the anchored liquid-crystal molecules, which is switched by an in-plane electric field with squared pulses of voltages. These liquid crystal/polyme...
متن کاملPhotoresponsive Wettability in Monolayer Films from Sinapinic Acid
Sinapinic acid is an interesting material because it is both antioxidant and antibacterial agent. In addition, when illuminated with ultraviolet light, it can exhibit the so-called photodimerization process. In this paper, we report on the investigation of monolayer films from 3,5-dimethoxy-4-hydroxycinnamic acid (sinapinic acid, SinA) deposited onto poly(allylamine hydrochloride), PAH, films. ...
متن کاملAdaptive fluid-infused porous films with tunable transparency and wettability.
Materials that adapt dynamically to environmental changes are currently limited to two-state switching of single properties, and only a small number of strategies that may lead to materials with continuously adjustable characteristics have been reported. Here we introduce adaptive surfaces made of a liquid film supported by a nanoporous elastic substrate. As the substrate deforms, the liquid fl...
