Tuning surface wettability through photocontrolled reversible molecular shuttle.
A photocontrolled molecular shuttle SAM based on an alpha-cyclodextrin (alpha-CD)/azobenzene inclusion complex on rough gold surfaces is fabricated, which can reversibly switch the surface wettability by transferring external energy (light) to molecular mechanical motion.
متن کاملSurface Modification of Inorganic Nanoparticles Using Supercritical Silanization Process
Nanometric titanium dioxide (TiO2) powder has been treated on the surface with octyltriethoxysilane in a supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) medium. The surface silanization conferred water repellency to the TiO2 powder. The effect of operating variables of the supercritical silanization process (pressure, temperature) on the surface characteristics of the material was analyzed. Finally, the e...
متن کاملElectrospinning onto Insulating Substrates by Controlling Surface Wettability and Humidity
We report a simple method for electrospinning polymers onto flexible, insulating substrates by controlling the wettability of the substrate surface. Water molecules were adsorbed onto the surface of a hydrophilic polymer substrate by increasing the local humidity around the substrate. The adsorbed water was used as the ground electrode for electrospinning. The electrospun fibers were deposited ...
متن کاملStick-slip control in nanoscale boundary lubrication by surface wettability.
We study the effect of atomic-scale surface-lubricant interactions on nanoscale boundary-lubricated friction by considering two example surfaces-hydrophilic mica and hydrophobic graphene-confining thin layers of water in molecular dynamics simulations. We observe stick-slip dynamics for thin water films confined by mica sheets, involving periodic breaking-reforming transitions of atomic-scale c...
متن کاملAltering Emulsion Stability with Heterogeneous Surface Wettability
Emulsions-liquid droplets dispersed in another immiscible liquid-are widely used in a broad spectrum of applications, including food, personal care, agrochemical, and pharmaceutical products. Emulsions are also commonly present in natural crude oil, hampering the production and quality of petroleum fuels. The stability of emulsions plays a crucial role in their applications, but controlling the...
