Driving Droplets on Liquid Repellent Surfaces via Light-Driven Marangoni Propulsion

Hyesun Hwang et al.

Summary: This study introduces a novel noncontact light-driven droplet manipulation method that utilizes photothermal effect to induce Marangoni flow for droplet motion on solid surfaces. The direction of motion can be precisely controlled by changing the irradiation position, and the addition of a miscible liquid can reverse the motion direction. The authors also show that spherical droplets on liquid repellent surfaces move through a rolling mechanism instead of sliding.

Analysis of droplet displacement during transport of polydisperse emulsion as drug carriers in microchannels

Mariola Blaszczyk et al.

Summary: Drug transport in the human body can be intensified by using emulsions as carriers. While monodisperse emulsions have been commonly used due to their predictable drug release time, polydisperse emulsions are more cost-effective for industrial production. However, the mechanism of drug release from polydisperse emulsions is more complex. This study analyzes the transport of polydisperse emulsions through microchannels and proposes a method to predict droplet transport velocity based on their position in the channel.

Roles of energy dissipation and asymmetric wettability in spontaneous imbibition dynamics in a nanochannel

A. Hubao et al.

Summary: The imbibition dynamics in a nanochannel are controlled by energy dissipation mechanisms and influenced by asymmetric wettability. Molecular dynamics simulations are used to study imbibition dynamics under various wetting conditions, leading to the proposal of a modified theoretical model that accurately captures the dynamic changes during the imbibition process.

Oil-water separation in a cylindrical cyclone with vortex finder

Jian Zhang et al.

Summary: Cylindrical cyclones with a vortex finder are commonly used in the petroleum industry for oil-water separation. This study utilized dimensional analysis and multiphase flow numerical simulation to analyze the separation process in such cyclones. The results showed that the diameter of the overflow pipe, inlet velocity, and flow split ratio significantly influenced the structure of the vortex core. Increasing the diameter of the oil droplet improved the separation efficiency, while increasing the overflow split ratio decreased the oil volume fractions in the outlets.

Contactless transport of sessile droplets

Zhi Wu Jiang et al.

Summary: Contactless droplet transport, specifically examining the motion of sessile binary or pure water droplets under the contactless Marangoni effect, has been studied both experimentally and theoretically. The driving force generated from the evaporation of a pure liquid source droplet was validated through experimental data. A linear approximation between the spreading radius and droplet spacing was proposed, influencing the calculation of the driving force.

Solute induced jittery motion of self-propelled droplets

Prateek Dwivedi et al.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of solutes on the activity of self-propelling droplets, revealing that the physicochemical interactions between solutes and droplet interface are at the root of this impact. The rate of solubilization of droplets affects the redistribution of surfactants on the interface, leading to changes in droplet motion trajectories in the presence of solutes.

Taking a closer look: A molecular-dynamics investigation of microscopic and apparent dynamic contact angles

J-C. Fernandez-Toledano et al.

Summary: The study utilized molecular dynamics (MD) to investigate the velocity dependence of dynamic contact angles, revealing that theta(m) is consistent with the molecular-kinetic theory of dynamic wetting (MKT) while theta(app) diverges under certain conditions. The behavior of theta(app) during liquid film deposition was found to follow the predicted equation by Voinov.

New superhydrophobic and self-cleaning zirconia/polydimethylsiloxane nanocomposite coated cotton fabrics

Ubong Eduok

Summary: The study involved fabricating coated cotton fabrics using modified zirconia nanoparticles and polydimethylsiloxane, with variations in concentrations of these components to achieve stability, self-cleaning, and oil-water separation properties. The coated fabrics exhibited superhydrophobicity, resistance against chemical and thermal oxidation, and maintained high separation efficiency for chloroform-water and toluene-water mixtures.
