The shale boom in North America started more than a decade ago, however, the issue of
substantial fracturing fluid loss inside shale did not draw much attention for a decade. In the …

A contact angle observed for a liquid-solid system is not necessarily a unique value and a
few different contact angles need to be carefully considered in relation to liquid spreading …

Much interest has recently been focused on contact angles, wetting and non-wettable
surfaces as is evidenced by the rapid pace and sheer number of papers published in recent …

Physics and Chemistry of Interfaces Comprehensive textbook on the interdisciplinary field of
interface science, fully updated with new content on wetting, spectroscopy, and coatings …

Contact angle, a quantitative measure of macroscopic surface wettability, plays an important
role in understanding liquid-vapor heterogeneous phase change phenomena, eg, boiling …

Understanding the limits of fine particle flotation is the key to the selective separation of fine
mineral particles. Fine particles have low collision efficiencies with gas bubbles and float …

We report the observation of coexisting Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) and Fermi gas in a
magnetic trap. With a very small fraction of thermal atoms, the 7 Li condensate is quasipure …

This article presents the analysis for determining surface free energy uncertainty by the
Owens–Wendt method (also known as the Kaelble–Owens–Wendt method). There are a lot …

Nanoparticles at fluid interfaces are becoming a central topic in colloid science studies.
Unlike in the case of colloids in suspensions, the description of the forces determining the …

The knowledge of the adequate equation for the maximum capillary pressure (Pcmax),
stabilizing relatively large bubbles and drops by relatively small, solid particles, is essential …
