Abstract:Understanding
and manipulating wettability alterations has tremendous
implications in theoretical research and industrial applications.
This study proposes a novel idea of applying ultrasonic for wettability
alterations and also provides its quantitative characterizations and
in-depth analyses. More specifically, with pretreatment of ultrasonic,
mechanisms of wettability alteration were characterized from the contact
angle measurements, as well as the in-depth analyses from atomic force
microscopy (AFM), X-ray… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
