The thermodynamic properties of cationic surfactant CTAB (cetyltrimethylammonium
bromide), anionic surfactant SDS (sodium dodecyl sulfate), and AOT (Aerosol OT) in pure …

The vast deployment of surfactants worldwide in various industries has an intense impact on
the environment. This led to the quest for surfactants with high performance but less …

Electrospun microfibers are emerging as one of the advanced wound dressing materials for
acute and/or chronic wounds, especially with their ability to carry drugs and excipients at a …

The spreading of small liquid drops over thin and thick porous layers (dry or saturated with
the same liquid) is discussed in the case of both complete wetting (silicone oils of different …

Hypothesis Droplets can absorb into permeable substrates due to capillarity. It is
hypothesized that the contact line dynamics influence this process and that an unpinned …

Foams are a common occurrence in many industries and many of these applications require
the foam to interact with porous materials. For the first time interaction of foams with porous …

A compression device to compress sponges for foam generation has been developed,
which allows standardisation of the process of foam generation using sponges. The foam …

In order to study the wetting behavior of a liquid film on a surface with ultralow contact angle,
the interference fringe method with oblique upward laser is developed. This method allows …

A theory of the amount of foam produced by compression/decompression cycles of a soft
porous media is developed. The amount of foam produced was found to be dependent on …
