We numerically investigate the pressure drop reduction (PDR) performance of
microchannels equipped with liquid-infused surfaces, along with determining the shape of …

The removal of emulsified oils from water has always been a challenge due to the kinetic
stability resulting from the small droplet size and the presence of stabilizing agents …

Classical imbibition theory cannot describe imbibition flow dynamics in nanoporous media
in tight reservoirs and other industrial applications. In this work, the two-phase imbibition …

Obtaining a deep knowledge of the behavior of condensed phases (solids, liquids, and
amorphous) is a great challenge. This challenge is compounded in studies in which two or …

In the evolving landscape of materials science, the expansion from traditional composite
materials to liquid-solid composites has marked a significant shift. Composite materials …

Membrane technology plays an important role in sustainable water treatment; however, the
non-adjustable pores make it difficult to achieve precise molecular separation, and …

In this study, an environmentally friendly and rapid method is demonstrated to manufacture a
high-performance oil absorbent that can be easily regenerated indefinitely. The sponge is …
