Microemulsions, as thermodynamically stable mixtures of oil, water, and surfactant, are
known and have been studied for more than 70 years. However, even today there are still …

This paper presents a novel approach to fabricate superhydrophobic membranes by using
environmentally friendly and cost effective superhydrophobic nanoparticles to enhance …

We present a new class of superhydrophobic surfaces created from low-cost and easily
synthesized aluminum oxide nanoparticles functionalized carboxylic acids having highly …

This article analyzes how the individual structural elements of surfactant molecules affect
surface properties, in particular, the point of reference defined by the limiting surface tension …

This paper gives an overview of weak aggregation due to long-range molecular forces
beyond the first neighbor. Such subtle self-assemblies are an important part of modern …

In the present study, theoretical and experimental investigations were carried out to examine
the effect of changing the operating parameters of an air gap membrane distillation (AGMD) …

The regimes of drop generation were studied in a Dolomite microfluidic device which
combined both hydrodynamic and geometrical flow focusing over a broad range of flow …

The formation of materials with tunable wettability is important for applications ranging from
antifouling to waterproofing surfaces. We report the use of various low-cost and …

A highly branched green low surface energy surfactant (LSES), stable in harsh conditions,
was synthesized for enhanced oil recovery (EOR). Oil recovery factors were determined …

The interfacial properties and water-in-CO2 (W/CO2) microemulsion (μE) formation with
double-and novel triple-tail surfactants bearing trimethylsilyl (TMS) groups in the tails are …
