Abstract:Forced wetting (intrusion) and spontaneous dewetting (extrusion) of hydrophobic/lyophobic nanoporous materials by water/nonwetting liquid are of great importance for a broad span of technological and natural systems such as shock-absorbers, molecular springs, separation, chromatography, ion channels, nanofluidics, and many more. In most of these cases, the process of intrusion-extrusion is not complete due to the stochastic nature of external stimuli under realistic operational conditions. However, understandi… Show more
