Emulsions are dispersed systems of two immiscible liquids such as oil and water. Interfacial rheology measurements predict emulsion stability.
Learn more about the Sauerbrey equation and when it should be used.
Interfacial rheology studies the flow properties of the interfacial layer that is formed between two immiscible fluids, such as oil and water.
Read about the different components in cleaning products and how they work on a molecular level.
The good lubricity is needed as the poorly lubricated catheters can cause trauma as a result of high frictional forces between the biomaterial and tissue.
Learn about QCM-D, Quartz Crystal Microbalance with Dissipation monitoring - an analytical tool for surface interaction studies at the nano-scale.
Plasma treatment is able to increase the wettability of most polymers. Hydrophobic recovery is often encountered which causes wettability to decrease.
Learn about the past and future development of biomaterials in regenerative medicine.
To better describe the real surfaces, different wetting states have been proposed. The most discussed are Wenzel state and Cassie-Baxter state.
