Insertion and confinement of hydrophobic metallic powder in water: the bubble-marble effect.

Underwater microwave ignition of hydrophobic thermite powder enabled by the bubble- marble effect

Effect of Bubble/Droplet Morphology and Slippage on Attachment Induction Time in Deoiling Flotation Process

A modified model has been analytically developed to describe the induction time of an elliptic air bubble in contact with an elliptic hydrophobic oil droplet. The role of hydrophobicity was revealed in the slippage of liquid over the surfaces of bubble and droplet. In this condition, the analytical relationships for pressure distribution and consequently hydrodynamic resistance force through th...

Investigation of the Effect of Adding Aluminum Trihydrate (ATH) Particles on Electrical and Hydrophobic Properties of Two-Part RTV Silicon Rubber

In this paper, the effect of adding aluminum trihydrate (ATH) on electrical (including dielectric constant, dielectric loss and strength, volume and surface resistivity) and hydrophobic properties of two-part room temperature volcanized (RTV) silicone rubber resin coatings were investigated. For this purpose, the RTV-ATH nanocomposite was made by physical mixing and its electrical and hydrophob...

Survey the effect of distraction on average heart rate due to IV insertion in ‎‏3-6‏

Introduction: Illness, hospitalization and pain are often the first crisis that children are faced with ‎and painful procedure such as IV insertion is inevitable and the most cause of children distress. ‎Therefore proper pain treatment is one of the important goals in hospitalized children. Distraction as ‎a non-medical method is among independent nursing implementation which tends ...

A quantitative framework for the formation of liquid marbles and hollow granules from hydrophobic powders

Liquid marbles are micro reservoirs of fluid surrounded by a powder shell. Their unique properties show promise for high-value technological applications in the medical, biotechnology, chemical and pharmaceutical industries. In this study, liquid marbles were prepared from six mixtures of water and glycerol by releasing droplets from different heights onto a loosely packed powder bed using a 1m...
