Abstract

In this research, precise motion control and synchronized high-speed microscopic dual-wavelength interferometry were employed to investigate the impact of surface-active components on the rupture behavior of wetting films. The findings unveiled a novel mechanism for wetting film rupture at hydrophobic interfaces, propelled by gas migration towards the solid-liquid interface, resulting in the nucleation and growth of surface nanobubble. Salt ions accelerate film rupture by reducing electrostatic interactions and enhancing gas transfer, whereas surfactant adsorption immobilizes the gas-liquid interface through the Marangoni effect, thereby postponing rupture by impeding gas migration and surface nanobubble formation. Furthermore, surfactants influence the kinetics of three-phase contact line formation, where variations in molecular structure, solubility, and ionic properties contributing to differing levels of friction, and thereby affecting the overall dynamics of wetting films.

期刊介绍： The word ‘particuology’ was coined to parallel the discipline for the science and technology of particles. Particuology is an interdisciplinary journal that publishes frontier research articles and critical reviews on the discovery, formulation and engineering of particulate materials, processes and systems. It especially welcomes contributions utilising advanced theoretical, modelling and measurement methods to enable the discovery and creation of new particulate materials, and the manufacturing of functional particulate-based products, such as sensors. Papers are handled by Thematic Editors who oversee contributions from specific subject fields. These fields are classified into: Particle Synthesis and Modification; Particle Characterization and Measurement; Granular Systems and Bulk Solids Technology; Fluidization and Particle-Fluid Systems; Aerosols; and Applications of Particle Technology. Key topics concerning the creation and processing of particulates include: -Modelling and simulation of particle formation, collective behaviour of particles and systems for particle production over a broad spectrum of length scales -Mining of experimental data for particle synthesis and surface properties to facilitate the creation of new materials and processes -Particle design and preparation including controlled response and sensing functionalities in formation, delivery systems and biological systems, etc. -Experimental and computational methods for visualization and analysis of particulate system. These topics are broadly relevant to the production of materials, pharmaceuticals and food, and to the conversion of energy resources to fuels and protection of the environment.
