The presence of microplastics in various abiotic and biotic matrices has sought the attention
of researchers across the globe. Despite being subsurface, groundwater is also reported to …

Understanding and predicting colloid transport and retention in water‐saturated porous
media is important for the protection of human and ecological health. Early applications of …

The evolution from microfluidic to nanofluidic systems has been accompanied by the
emergence of new fluid phenomena and the potential for new nanofluidic devices. This …

Recent field and laboratory experiments have identified colloid-facilitated transport of
contaminants as an important mechanism of contaminant migration through groundwater …

Publisher Summary It is noted that colloidal particles can be effectively transported through
subsurface porous media under certain hydrogeochemical conditions. If present in large …

Bacterial infection of biomaterial surfaces is an important problem in the biomedical and
health industries. The design of materials resistant to infections necessitates an …

Permeability reduction and formation damage in porous media caused by fines (defined as
unconfined solid particles present in the pore spaces) migration is one of the major reasons …

Transparent exopolymer particles (TEP) are ubiquitous in marine and freshwater
environments. For the past two decades, the distribution and ecological roles of these …

This paper examines the critical role of surface roughness (both nano-and micro-scale) on
the processes of colloid retention and release in porous media under steady-state and …

A mathematical model is formulated for the general class of problems that involve the
transport of stable particulate suspensions in porous media. The porous medium is …
