A study on wettability properties of rutile-phase TiO2 nanostructure film
… environmentally friendly, thus the study of the wettability properties of rutile-phase TiO2 film is introduced for self-cleaning application. TiO2 is fabricated using the hydrothermal synthesis method at 150°C. The fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) is used as a substrate to grow the TiO2 …

Beetle exoskeletal structure and surfaces determine specialized functions: Two case studies
… that could have a wide range of material properties, leading to numerous structures and surfaces with selective advantages. Some of them are functional specifically for interacting with other biological structures or the environment. This thesis presents two hybrid experimental/theoretical …

Fabrication of graphene-based resistive sensor for eschericia coli bacteria sensing
… has size ranging from 1.4-1.6 μm in length. The wettability properties of graphene confirmed that graphene surface is hydrophobic with contact angle of 108.9o which is suitable for bacterial detection. Raman spectroscopy measurements shows that the ratio of G peak and D peak intensity increase …

Flow and Distribution of Water in Fractional Wettability Unsaturated Porous Media
… industrial, and municipal activities. The wettability properties (e.g., water repellency) of soil in the unsaturated zone play an important role in determining fluid movement and ultimate distributions. A number of studies have shown that preferential flow and spatially variable moisture …

Sugarcane green ceramic hollow fibre membrane for oily wastewater separation
… newly-developed ss-CHFM/WSBA induced excellent wettability properties with contact angle value of 161.1° at 60 min of grafting time, 3 cycle of grafting cycle and calcination temperature at 400 °C. In addition, it was also found that these parameters gave evenly nano-silica particle distribution …

Separation and characterization of crude oils and investigation of their wetting properties on rock surfaces
… part of the study, the effect of crude oil properties on wettability properties of calcium carbonate is studied. The tilting plate method was chosen as an appropriate method for contact angle measurement because it involves the formation of a rigid film instead of the use of the oil …
