There are two main mysteries in bulk nanobubbles which are cavitation nuclei. One is the
mechanism of stability of a bulk nanobubble. The other is the problem whether OH radicals …

Interactions between hydrophobic surfaces at nanometer separation distances in aqueous
solutions are important in a number of biological and industrial processes. Force …

We follow the history of nanobubbles from the earliest experiments pointing to their
existence to recent years. We cover the effect of Laplace pressure on the thermodynamic …

Acoustic cavitation is the formation and subsequent violent collapse of bubbles in liquid
irradiated with intense ultrasound. Ultrasound is radiated by a vibrating plate connected to …

A general introduction to surface and interfacial forces, perfectly combining theoretical
concepts, experimental techniques and practical applications. In this completely updated …

Icing of surfaces is commonplace in nature, technology and everyday life, bringing with it
sometimes catastrophic consequences. A rational methodology for designing materials with …

We have studied the hydrophobic water/octadecyltrichlorosilane (OTS) interface by using
the phase-sensitive sum-frequency vibrational spectroscopy (PS-SFVS), and we obtained …

Recent experiments have convincingly demonstrated the existence of surface nanobubbles
on submerged hydrophobic surfaces. However, classical theory dictates that small gaseous …

Surface nanobubbles and micropancakes are two recent discoveries in interfacial physics.
They are nanoscopic gaseous domains that form at the solid/liquid interface. The …

The dynamic equilibrium model for a bulk nanobubble partly covered with hydrophobic
material in water is theoretically and numerically studied. The gas diffusion into a bubble …
