Bubble-particle interaction is of great theoretical and practical importance in flotation.
Significant progress has been achieved over the past years and the process of bubble …

The interaction between deformable drops or bubbles encompasses a number of
distinguishing characteristics not present in the interaction between solid bodies. The drops …

The forces between hydrophilic and hydrophobic silica particles and an air bubble were
measured in pure water and in NaCl solutions using an atomic force microscope. In addition …

Attempting to remove the maximum number of inclusions from liquid steel by bubble flotation
is an important means of improving steel cleanliness. There has, however, been no …

The interaction between moving bubbles, vapor voids in liquid, can arguably represent the
simplest dynamical system in continuum mechanics as only a liquid and its vapor phase are …

The word tribology originates from the Greek word tribos, which means “friction, rub,
grind,”“to wear away,” or “science of friction.” Tribology is the study of science and …

The interaction between hydrophilic silica particles and air bubbles in aqueous electrolyte
has been studied by colloid probe atomic force microscopy. The interaction was found to be …

The use of atomic force microscopy to measure and understand the interactions between
deformable colloids–particularly bubbles and drops–has grown to prominence over the last …

Bubbly flow is a prototypical two-phase flow problem. The dynamic behavior of bubbles
within a reactor is intrinsically linked to their transport, distribution, and mass transfer, all of …

Over the past decade, direct force measurements using the Atomic Force Microscope (AFM)
have been extended to study non-equilibrium interactions. Perhaps the more scientifically …
