Bubble-induced transport of oil droplets in water.
نویسندگان
چکیده
An oil droplet wrapped with poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) grafted nanoparticles can ascend or descend in water repeatedly by simply tuning the temperature of water above or below 33 °C, while avoiding the use of sophisticated equipment and complex nanostructures.

Micro droplets generated on a rising bubble through an oppositely charged oil/water interface
The mass transfer between immiscible two-liquid phases can be greatly enhanced by bubbling gas through a reactor. Numerous micro water droplets breaking out from a ruptured water film around a rising bubble through the oil (upper phase)/water (lower phase) interface were demonstrated in the preceding paper (Uemura T., Ueda Y. and Iguchi M., Europhys. Lett., 92 (2010) 34004). In this letter, we ...
متن کاملCoalescence preference depends on size inequality.
During bubble or droplet coalescence, there is a puzzling tendency for the coalesced bubble or droplet to be preferentially placed closer to the larger of its two parents. We confirm that this preference is a function of parent size ratio by directly visualizing coalescing air bubbles on an oil-water interface and coalescing water droplets immersed in oil. We find that the final position of the...
متن کاملNanoemulsions obtained via bubble-bursting at a compound interface
Bursting of bubbles at an air/liquid interface is a familiar occurrence relevant to foam stability, cell cultures in bioreactors and ocean–atmosphere mass transfer. In the latter case, bubble-bursting leads to the dispersal of sea-water aerosols in the surrounding air. Here we show that bubbles bursting at a compound air/oil/water-with-surfactant interface can disperse submicrometre oil droplet...

© 2014 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim 6023 wileyonlinelibrary.com Our work is inspired by passive transport across cell membranes, which offer an intriguing example of regulating membrane permeability based on transmembrane hydrophilic/hydrophobic interactions. [ 10 ] The cell membrane has a lipid bilayer structure consisting of hydrophilic phosphate outer layers and hydrophobic hyd...
متن کاملCurvature-driven bubbles or droplets on the spiral surface
Directional motion of droplets or bubbles can often be observed in nature and our daily life, and this phenomenon holds great potential in many engineering areas. The study shows that droplets or bubbles can be driven to migrate perpetually on some special substrates, such as the Archimedean spiral, the logarithmic spiral and a cantilever sheet in large deflection. It is found that a bubble app...
